The control over the switch to Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is not solely held by top leadership figures, but also by the many individuals working behind the scenes making micro-decisions.
The integrity of those implementing AGI is crucial, as their ethical decisions on a daily basis can either uphold or erode the system's original purpose.
Despite rigorous oversight in software development processes, issues often arise in the handoff stages, highlighting the importance of personal integrity at every step of AGI development and deployment.
The future impact of AGI goes beyond algorithms and efficiency; it hinges on the integrity of the people behind the system, emphasizing the need for individuals with integrity to safeguard AGI's potential impact on humanity.
