“Big Short” investor Steve Eisman told CNBC there is “no evidence at all that AI has achieved artificial general intelligence,” according to CoinMarketCap, which shared his comments on X. Eisman also dismissed concerns about AI-related extinction as “nonsense.” His remarks address whether current systems have reached artificial general intelligence (AGI) and how seriously to treat predictions of existential risks from AI. Eisman’s central argument was that there is currently no evidence that artificial intelligence has achieved AGI. The term AGI generally refers to an AI system capable of performing a broad range of intellectual tasks at a level comparable with humans, rather than being optimized for a narrower set of functions. His statement comes amid continued debate among technology companies, researchers and investors over how to measure progress toward increasingly capable AI systems. The CoinMarketCap post did not identify a particular AI model or company that Eisman was referring to. Eisman also rejected warnings about AI potentially causing human extinction, describing such fears as “nonsense.” The source post did not provide further details about the specific arguments or evidence Eisman used to support his view. The X post also did not indicate that Eisman was making a forecast about the future development of artificial intelligence.
