AI Supremacy
I consider Harry Law my lead AGI reporter, if such a thing could exist. It’s important we keep debating AGI and ASI because it has ramifications on the global economy and society as a whole. If one day, AI were to become sentient, self-motivated and awaken from the ghost in the machine what would it attempt to do?
The upshot is that the bus is on the road, but its steering is still being worked out. AI firms feel they need to create ever-more capable AI to avoid being left behind by the competition domestically and internationally, while at the same time seeking to understand those systems for safety and policy reasons. This drive is a defining feature of the current moment, as labs must satisfy investors and regulators that AGI is both inevitable and controllable.
