12. The venture capital bubble may burst, but that's not going to stop the research.

Governments, including the U.S. government, will take up the slack in any funding because they are convinced that achieving Artificial General Intelligence (if it's possible) is a matter of national security.

And, while generative AI and LLMs are getting all of the hype, there are other types of machine intelligence that are being pursued. World models, action models, multimodal modals, synaptic brain mapping and modeling, expert models, and reinforcement learning are all being developed. My guess is that if AGI is ever achieved, it will be a result of combining many approaches.
