The Spin

Narrative A

AGI isn't just another form of AI, but an existential threat to humanity as a whole. If AGI isn't vigorously monitored, it will eventually become smarter than humans and develop itself exponentially until we can no longer put the genie back in the bottle. Once it's fully autonomous, it can decide to overtake human beings and the environment we inhabit. This is more than just the latest social app, and it requires much more scrutiny.

Narrative B

While there are risks involved in any advanced technology, we cannot forget about the incredible potential of AGI, particularly regarding the science. As AI companies slowly and cautiously roll out AGI to the world — and after periods of thorough safety testing — the world will be able to learn about and adapt alongside AGI to make their lives exponentially better economically and socially.
