Emad Most: Building the Future with Open-Source AI and a Human-Centered Vision

The Rapid Evolution of AI and Its Implications

In just over a year since the advent of reasoning models like GPT-4, AI has moved from experimental novelty to an unstoppable force transforming every facet of human life. Emad Most, a pioneering figure in open-source AI and the founder of Stability AI, highlights how AI is now capable of surpassing human performance in critical fields like medicine, education, and governance.

Most emphasizes that for jobs involving simple tasks accessible via remote interfaces—what he refers to as KVM (keyboard, video, mouse)—AI will soon outperform humans. This looming shift raises profound questions about societal stability, ethics, and the future of human purpose.
