Predictions on the Arrival of Artificial General Intelligence

Whoa, artificial intelligence can now (2020) recognize a cat, dog, car, and building.

There is still some time before artificial general intelligence [1] arrives. 2050 is a prediction. [2]

MJ's take on this: I predict that strong AI will arise only after humans learn to collaborate. Why? Because current learning by humans is extremely inefficient, in that the vast majority of state-of-art knowhow is proprietary, not shared, and used for militant rather than peacetime endeavors. This simply cannot and does not facilitate wide distribution of knowledge and learning, as the House of Wisdom attempted in medieval times.
