AI prime modality is text still, once they start training on other modalities and integrate them, then we might get general AI. I was exploring neural networks, multi agent planning and other strategies in the 90's. . Fundamentally nothing has changed since then, to be honest not much has changed in the 60's , . Just a large up scaling in the number or perceptions, or parameters and a slight tweek to the architecture. And massive amounts of training data.
The challenge toward General AI is how to train them.
Add to that goals such as survival and you have something governments ought to be aware off. . Since current chat bots are have been trained on text data they dont appear to have any understanding of the context of their replies such as monitor. they get very confused,, but add more modalities and that will change.
