Speculations

• All decision-making scenarios, including single-agent, cooperative multi-agent, competitive multi-agent, i.e., game theory, and mixed cooperative and competitive scenarios, will be mastered through one algorithm, one model, and even one set of parameters of the model.

• The Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) will ultimately be i) self-improving on decisions and alignment through interacting with the (virtually) embodied environments, e.g., video games, and ii) distributed intelligently across massive open-sourced domain-specific models.
