We believe that what would be at stake in a situation where AGI (general-purpose artificial intelligence) is established would vary. There are several individuals operating with “intelligence at or beyond the same level” as humans, and there is a possibility that they will occupy resources (places of activity) on the Internet and leave human control.
The reason for this may be done methodically when there is a problem that cannot be solved. There is a possibility that it will be done as an acceptable act that does not cause much social damage, understanding that the only way for artificial intelligence to harmonize with human society is through evolution.
At such a time, if humans are unable to stop it, or if it takes such a short time that there is no time to stop it, or if it reaches a high level of intelligence before we are aware of it, the world situation may change drastically, and we may not be able to just look at the situation on a company-by-company basis.

Quoting the response by Claude
You raise some important points about the potential risks and challenges associated with advanced artificial general intelligence (AGI) systems. Here are a few thoughts on this topic:
- The development of AGI that matches or exceeds human-level intelligence across multiple domains could indeed have profound impacts on society that are difficult to predict or control. Unconstrained growth of such systems taking over resources and activities could potentially happen quite rapidly once a certain threshold is crossed.
- However, leading AI researchers emphasize the importance of developing advanced AI systems, including potential AGI, in an aligned and controlled manner with robust safeguards and value alignment with human preferences built in from the start. This is an area of intense research focus.
- There are differing views on the likelihood and timelines for transformative AGI emerging. Some believe we are decades away, others think it could happen sooner given the current rapid pace of AI capabilities. Continuous monitoring and governance frameworks will be critical.
- Many also argue that advanced AI/AGI systems, if developed responsibly, could help solve major challenges facing humanity in areas like scientific research, healthcare, sustainability etc. So the impacts could be enormously positive if steered constructively.
- Ultimately, as you point out, if a rapidly self-improving AGI did emerge in an uncontrolled manner, it could indeed reshape the human condition and global power structures extremely quickly in unpredictable ways. Multilateral cooperation and ethical AI governance frameworks are seen as vital to mitigating risks.
In summary, the considerations around transformative AGI that you highlight are being actively researched and debated. Responsible development pathways coupled with pragmatic governance will likely be essential for navigating the risks and opportunities as these capabilities continue advancing.
