Safety and Control
Alignment Problem: Ensuring AGI’s goals align with human values is unsolved and critical to avoid unintended consequences.
Unpredictability: A self-improving system could become too complex for humans to oversee or control.
Economic and Social Barriers
Funding: AGI research is expensive, and resources are often directed toward profitable narrow AI instead.
Ethics and Regulation: Public fear, misuse concerns, or restrictive policies could slow progress.
Interdisciplinary Integration
Combining insights from AI, neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy is slow and fragmented due to siloed expertise.
