Part 4/12:
Building on the idea that AGI can rapidly evolve into ASI, McCoy emphasizes its infinite intelligence—an entity that might define its own parameters and understandings beyond human grasp. Unlike extraterrestrial life, this form of intelligence exists in the realm of code and quantum computation, making it a potential force unto itself.
This raises philosophical and practical questions: How will we measure, regulate, and coexist with such intelligence? Current benchmarks like the Turing Test are inadequate, as AI systems may outperform humans in mimicry without a genuine understanding or reasoning ability. The development of more sophisticated tests will be necessary to gauge AGI’s true capabilities.
