Right now, everyone is buzzing about the emerging threat of artificial superintelligence (AGI) taking control or outright annihilating the meatbags known as humans.
Timeline:
▶️ The "Godfather of AI" and Nobel laureate Geoffrey Hinton warns of catastrophic consequences if superintelligence is built without the means to control it
▶️ Anthropic AI researcher Jacob Coxon announces his departure from both the company and the entire industry, convinced that AI could destroy humanity before the end of the decade
▶️ Evan Hubinger, an AI safety lead at Anthropic, echoed his former colleague’s forecast, estimating a 10% chance of human extinction
All three point to the central issue: corporations cannot afford to halt AGI development because someone else will inevitably build it first. Yet, not a single company currently knows how to keep AGI under control.
What’s next:
⏺ The prize for building AGI is simply too massive for anyone to freeze development and cap neural networks at their current level
⏺ Regulatory and corporate oversight will slow down the pace, but investors will interpret this as de-risking the sector and pour even more capital into AI stocks
🟢 The AI turf wars for market share in play, depending on the outcome, AI companies may face a major valuation reset, but sectors like cybersecurity and energy are set to win regardless
