OpenAi released a blog post about their plans for AGI and how to minimize the negative impacts. I highly recommend reading it yourself, but the key takeaways are:

  1. The mission is to ensure that AGI benefits humanity by increasing abundance, turbocharging the global economy, and aiding in the discovery of new scientific knowledge.
  2. AGI has the potential to empower humanity with incredible new capabilities, but it also comes with serious risks of misuse, drastic accidents, and societal disruption.
  3. To prepare for AGI, a gradual transition to a world with AGI is better than a sudden one. The deployment of AGI should involve a tight feedback loop of rapid learning and careful iteration, and democratized access will lead to more and better research, decentralized power, and more benefits. Developing increasingly aligned and steerable models, empowering individuals to make their own decisions, and engaging in a global conversation about key issues are also important.
