Ex Meta Executive warns three letter acronym AGI doesn’t capture the enormity of what AI represents; he refers to it as “God like”

Revelations 13:14 “…by the signs that it is allowed to work in the presence of the beast it deceives those who dwell on earth…”

Important Takeaways:

  • A future ‘God-like AI’ could destroy humans or make them obsolete if not properly contained, a prolific AI investor warned
  • Ian Hogarth — who has invested in over 50 AI companies — wrote an FT essay warning about the tech.
  • He says artificial general intelligence would be “God-like” because it would learn by itself.
  • The heated competition between OpenAI and other companies could lead to disaster.
  • While some are excited about AI’s financial benefits, like one ex-Meta exec who said AI would be worth trillions by the 2030s, others are warning about the risk of “nuclear-level catastrophe.”
  • “A three-letter acronym doesn’t capture the enormity of what AGI would represent, so I will refer to it as what is: God-like AI,” Ian Hogarth wrote in the FT. Hogarth used that term, he said, because such technology could develop by itself and transform the world without supervision.
  • “God-like AI could be a force beyond our control or understanding, and one that could usher in the obsolescence or destruction of the human race,” he added.
