One of the biggest names in the world of AI has claimed that the technology can match human capabilities, but one expert has warned us not to get too excited.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang recently declared that OpenAI's new Astra model has brought about the start of 'artificial general intelligence' earlier this week, and pointed out the technology was aided by Nvidia's chips.

Gorilla Technology CEO Paul Spain says it's Nvidia's job to sell the hardware AI runs on - and it needs to keep excitement up in order to sell us on the technology.

"That's how his share price stays high, that's how OpenAI and Anthropic end up sort of having big IPOs. So I think this is part of trying to keep it exciting and hype for people - but I'm not sure we've reached what I would call artificial general intelligence just yet."
