Season 12 of the AIAW Podcast launches with a bold, mind-stretching conversation in Episode 174 featuring Karim Nouira, founder of sics.ai (Superintelligence Computing Systems). With a background in engineering physics and mathematics, Karim brings a deeply technical and visionary perspective to one of the most provocative questions in tech: Can we reach AGI by 2026? From critiques of current LLMs to alternate paths like JEPA, world models, and latent space reasoning, we explore what it would take to build a true AI robotics brain capable of autonomous general intelligence. We also dive into the evolving relationship between humans and machines, the future of labor, and whether Sweden and Europe can play a central role in the global AGI race. A powerful kickoff to a season focused on what’s next. Don’t miss it.
