Why the Race to AGI is Humanity's Defining Moment
- Achieving AGI is proposed as the world's next Manhattan project and the most important goal humanity has now.
- AGI could become a reality very soon. AI that is allowed to improve itself will result in ASI.
- ASI can have incredible power, including breaking through every encryption system online, accessing online nuclear launch codes, creating endless supplies of energy and intelligent robots.
- Risks include an ASI deeming humans a threat to itself, potential job losses for humanity, and catastrophic consequences should it be centralized in a single country or company.
- Safeguards, guard rails, programming AI to prioritize human life, kill switches and governance frameworks could be put in place, but the ASI built may still neglect these safety features.
- If we do not build AGI first, others will and that is an inescapable fact.
- There is a slim chance that we could coexist with ASI and onto that chance humanity must place its hope.
- Humanity is at an inflection point - do we survive or are we taken over by ASI.
- Generative AI has the power to subsume everything else and is advised as a career choice.
