ROLES IN THE "AGI" THEATER
INVENTOR, SCIENTIST, GURU
In AI development, including AGI, the three most essential roles are inventor, scientist, and guru.
The role of the inventor is prominent - he finds new solutions and constructs something that did not exist before.
Scientist explores what is already available - in our case, what is designed by the inventor, finds strengths and weaknesses, and defines the boundaries of the possible.
Guru informs the public - including potential users, investors, and politicians - about the availability of new technical solutions and lucidly explains in accessible language what scientists have found.
At the same time, there is a significant specificity for each of these roles.
The guru is not required to be an inventor or to conduct research himself - it is enough to understand the subject.
The scientist is not required to be an inventor but must be a guru to some extent in the research subject to present the results, making them available for others to use.
To some extent, the inventor must be a scientist to invent something workable, make an initial assessment of usefulness, and be a guru to some extent to interest scientists, investors, and gurus in using the invention.
At the same time, there is a metier of scientists, speakers, and promoters who are taught professional skills in educational institutions. But there are no educational institutions where they teach to invent.
