What is the future of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)?

In this exclusive interview from Sandbox at Davos 2026, legendary futurist and General Magic founder Marc Porat discusses the "discontinuity" of the AI revolution and the birth of a new synthetic species.

Marc Porat, who famously predicted the smartphone at Apple in 1988, explains why current Large Language Models (LLMs) are limited by Western data and why the next frontier is Sovereign AI: AI rooted in a nation's specific culture and language.

In this video, Marc covers:
