The focus on AGI dangers and "super intelligence" represents Silicon Valley marketing narratives designed to concentrate power and funding in major tech companies rather than addressing real AI harms happening today. Prominent researchers like Lorena Jaume-Palasi and Abeba Birhane argue that emphasizing hypothetical future risks distracts from current issues like algorithmic bias, surveillance, and labor displacement that already affect vulnerable communities worldwide. This apocalyptic framing serves corporate interests more than genuine safety concerns.
