Simply expanding large language models is not sufficient for achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI). AGI requires not only processing vast amounts of information but also an understanding of ethical implications, decision-making capabilities under uncertainty, and contextual awareness. Large language models, as currently designed, lack these essential capabilities and are more akin to sophisticated pattern recognition systems than truly intelligent entities.

As an expert in AI ethics, I believe in the importance of thoroughly evaluating any legislation related to artificial intelligence. The EU AI Act contains both strengths and areas for improvement. Its impact should be carefully assessed through comprehensive stakeholder consultation and evidence-based research before making a decision on whether to repeal it.
