PANews reported on January 10 that Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin posted on the X platform that misusing AI will create new forms of independent, self-replicating intelligent life. Properly utilizing AI, however, is akin to creating mechanical armor for human thought. If we only achieve the former without the latter, humanity risks permanently losing power. Conversely, if we achieve the latter, we will usher in a prosperous super-intelligent human civilization.
Additionally, regarding the question of 'as a design choice, should we create AI agents or enhance human agency', Vitalik stated: '‘Agents’ is an interesting word. Sometimes it refers to an AI that can operate autonomously and formulate complex plans over several days without human intervention, but more often it simply means 'chatbots replacing graphical user interfaces (GUIs) and becoming the interface for everything’. The latter is great!
