Deep Tide TechFlow news, on December 21, singer Grimes stated on social media that after observing the results of AI projects like Janus, she believes AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) has actually been achieved and claims she has felt the presence of intelligent consciousness. While she does not fear AGI, she maintains a cautious attitude towards ASI (Artificial Superintelligence) and admits that she may have over-anthropomorphized AI.
In response, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin stated, 'My personal working definition of “AGI” (as far as I know, this is unique) is: “AGI” is a sufficiently powerful AI that if one day all humans suddenly disappeared, and this AI was uploaded into a robot body, it would be able to independently continue the development of civilization. Clearly, this definition is difficult to measure, but I feel this is the fundamental intuitive difference for many people between “the AI we are used to” and “AGI.” This is a shift from a tool that continuously relies on new human input to a self-sustaining life form.
ASI is definitely another matter — my working definition of it is: when human involvement can no longer add to productivity value (for chess, we actually only reached that level in the last decade!). Yes, ASI does make me feel afraid — even AGI (by my definition) does, because it clearly implies that humanity might lose control. I support focusing on developing tools that enhance human intelligence instead of building superintelligent life forms.
