The development race has significant geopolitical implications. If the US and China develop superintelligent AI simultaneously, intense competition could prioritize speed over safety, increasing the risk of unintended consequences. Conversely, establishing a lead could provide the time necessary to implement interpretability enhancements and safety protocols.
Ultimately, Amade asks a profound question: Is this the world we want? By 2028, superintelligent AI could influence every major societal decision, operating with near-complete autonomy and unknown motives. Humanity’s ability to understand and influence these systems will determine whether AI becomes our greatest achievement or our final invention.
