How does this cover make you feel, compared with what you would have felt back in 2017 the AI was considered a fantasy?

Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) has been in the spotlight lately, with some calling to halt its development. Researchers say GPT-4 could be an early, incomplete version of AGI.

We think the more important question is what does our anxiety and insecurity about AGI say about our beloved selves? Are we so vulnerable and insecure about our sovereignty over the reality we have created for us? Do we feel our existential importance is endangered by technology? Do we feel like if technology (hypothetically) takes over the world, it will protect the world from us? What would that mean? Will it develop self-awareness and agency? With what implications for us?

Historically, we've been trying to predict the implications of new tech. Yes, some our concerns are valid (like the ones regarding data leakage and cultural appropriation or security) , but we're not helpless. We've successfully controlled the development of certain technologies before, and we can do it again.

Some people envision doomsday scenarios with AGI, but is it really that terrifying? Or is it just advanced technology that seems like magic, as Arthur C. Clarke once wrote? AGI combines math, statistics, modeling, chat, and visualization techniques, reflecting human intelligence at work.

So, what can we do? We must demystify AGI, put controls in place, and remember that we're in the driver's seat, not the machines (at least for now).

Curious about AGI? It refers to an intelligent agent's ability to understand or learn any intellectual task that humans or animals can. It's a common topic in sci-fi and future studies, and also known as strong AI, full AI, or general intelligent action. Let's stay informed and proactive! 💡🤖
