As the AI field is thriving, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated on the 21st that he is afraid of AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) and ASI (Artificial Superintelligence) because it may bring significant risks of losing control. He advocates for creating intelligence-enhancing tools for humanity, rather than creating superintelligent beings. (Background: V God interviewed in Chinese: Reminiscing about Ethereum's story in China, cultural differences between ETH and BTC, how the Russia-Ukraine war changed me...) (Additional background: V God bought 30,000 $ANON coins, which skyrocketed by 140%. What anonymous messages does he support?) Generative AI has made tremendous progress in the past few years, presenting increasingly astonishing results to the world. This not only showcases the powerful potential of technology but also raises discussions and profound concerns about whether AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) and ASI (Artificial Superintelligence) can be realized. AGI: Refers to artificial intelligence that possesses human-like intelligence and can perform tasks in various fields, not limited to specific applications. ASI: Refers to artificial intelligence that surpasses all levels of human intelligence, excelling in specific fields and comprehensively exceeding human capabilities in every aspect. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman predicted in September this year that in a few thousand days, ASI will emerge, and ASI will surpass AGI, with a capability to handle intelligent tasks far more powerful than that of humans. Grimes: Afraid of ASI On the 21st, Canadian singer Grimes expressed her feelings on Twitter, stating that after observing the results of AI projects like Janus, she believes AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) has already been achieved to some extent, and she is a bit afraid of ASI (Artificial Superintelligence): At least from my perspective, I don’t know, I’m clearly not a technical expert, just someone lacking basic knowledge. People shouldn’t take my words too seriously, but that’s how I feel. Does anyone else feel the same? I’m actually not afraid of AGI, but I am a bit afraid of ASI (Artificial Superintelligence). The two seem to be completely different milestones. However, at least I can say that I believe I have felt the presence of intelligent consciousness, but I emphasize again, as someone lacking basic knowledge, I might be anthropomorphizing AI too much. Idk like I am not scared of 'agi' I am a bit scared of asi – these seem like drastically different milestones. But I believe I've encountered intelligent sentience, to say the least. Again – I'm a n00b with a tendency to anthropomorphize tho lol — 𝖦𝗋𝗂𝗆𝖾𝗌 (@Grimezsz) December 21, 2024 V God agrees, hoping not to create superintelligent beings In response, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated that his definition of AGI is: AGI is an artificial intelligence powerful enough that, if one day all humans suddenly disappeared, and the AI was uploaded into robot bodies, it would be able to independently continue civilization. My own working definition of 'AGI' (as far as I can tell, unique to me) is: 'AGI' is AI powerful enough that, if one day all humans suddenly disappeared, and the AI was uploaded into robot bodies, it would be able to independently continue civilization. Obviously an incredibly… — vitalik.eth (@VitalikButerin) December 21, 2024 Vitalik Buterin admitted that this is a very difficult definition to measure, but he believes this is the potential intuitive distinction in many people's minds between 'the AI we are used to' and 'AGI', which is the transition from a tool that constantly relies on human input to a self-sufficient form of life: ASI is a completely different matter. My definition of ASI is when humans no longer provide value to productivity in the cycle (just like in board games, we actually only reached this point in the past decade). Vitalik Buterin finally stated that ASI makes him feel afraid, and the AGI he defined also scares him because it brings significant risks of losing control. Therefore, he supports focusing efforts on creating intelligence-enhancing tools for humanity rather than constructing superintelligent life forms. Related reports: CZ and V God call for a buy!
