AGI: The Path to Universally Accessible Infinite Intelligence
This article explores the rapid development of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and its profound socioeconomic implications. The authors posit that AGI is not far off, developing at a rate exceeding Moore's Law with exponentially decreasing costs. AGI will become a ubiquitous tool, akin to electricity and the internet, transforming industries and boosting global productivity. However, the authors also highlight the challenges posed by AGI, including potential social inequality and power imbalances. To ensure AGI benefits everyone, proactive public policy is needed, alongside exploration of novel approaches to fairer resource allocation, such as providing a "compute budget" to enable universal access to powerful AI. The ultimate goal is for individuals in 2035 to possess the intellectual capacity equivalent to the entire human population in 2025, unleashing global creativity for the benefit of all.
