What happens after AGI? AGI is artificial general intelligence: it’s when AI achieves human-level intelligence nd likely quickly thereafter super-human abilities, maybe even ushering in the Singularity. I was recently at the Beneficial AGI conference in Panama. One of the speakers was the founder of Emerj Artificial Intelligence Research. He’s interviewed nearly 1,000 AI leaders, his name is Dan Faggella, and he has some good insight into what AGI might do. Or at least what the experts think about it … We discuss artificial general intelligence (AGI), the potential for post-human bliss through advanced simulations, and various perspectives on AGI's ethical and societal impacts. Fagella shares insights from interviews with nearly a thousand AI experts, outlining a matrix to categorize thoughts on AGI's future and human interaction. The discussion covers the balance between control, collaboration, and open-source development in AI, along with personal reflections on humanity's potential paths in an AI-dominated future. Themes include the ethical implications of AGI, the role of human values in AI development, and speculative futures where humanity merges with or is overshadowed by superior AI entities. 00:00 Exploring Post-Human Bliss and the Power of AI 01:31 The Matrix of AI Perspectives 02:50 Exploring the Future with AI: Preservation, Progression, and Ascension 04:26 Navigating the Path to AI: Control, Collaboration, Openness 07:11 Personal Stances and the Future of AI 19:00 AI's Impact on Society and the Future 24:23 Envisioning a Post-Human Future: Choices and Consequences 29:53 Reflections on Humanity's Path Forward with AI
