Glossary

AGI: Artificial General Intelligence, AI that matches or surpasses human cognitive across a wide range of cognitive tasks^[1]
Weak AGI: It is an AGI that have limited cognition (less than human) in a wide range of cognitive tasks.
BCI: Brain-Computer Interface, technology that enables direct communication between the brain and external devices, allowing for the enhancement of cognitive and physical abilities.
Narrow AI: AI that is specialized in a specific task.
Zero day: A software vulnerability not yet known to the creator and therefore unpatched.

Introduction

We are living in an era of rapid technological progress, with Artificial Intelligence (AI) emerging as one of the most revolutionary inventions capable of reshaping society. The development of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) raises significant concerns, as it could become as intelligent as or even surpass humans, posing unprecedented risks. History shows that every major invention evokes fear, but with AGI, the stakes are uniquely high, including the potential loss of control over Earth. Humanity must carefully consider the implications of creating AGI to avoid catastrophic consequences. The main take-away from this article that we want to convey is that humanity should continue to think and decide clearly what direction to take in the future. If humanity continue to embrace technology progress without thinking about what to do next, we think that it will cause the downfall of humanity. One of the main reason is that even a perfectly aligned AGI could go wrong. We will try to give the default scenario that will happen in the next 50 years, exposing in such way the risks the most probable.

From now to 2030

The 2020s have already seen remarkable advancements in AI. Systems like GPT-4 (GPT and Turing test^[2] and DALL-E 3 for image generation, demonstrate AI's capability to mimic human creativity and reasoning. In the next years, we would probably see improvements for those models, in particular in language and generation of images and videos. For example we could imagine a model that makes an educational video generated automatically from a book, an article, or a concept.
We will also have self-driving car with full autonomy by the end of the decade^[3]. We will see in the next decades why we think that cars will be nearly obsolete in the future.
Another very important thing that will...
