(AGI) doesn't turn on humankind.

Where GenAI flooded the world with fake news, world governments responded by establishing ‘The Sanctity of Truth Treaty’. This directive could only be effective with the tech of AGI to stem the tide; in other words, to fight fire with “friendly” fire in the online and augmented spheres.

OpenAI no longer has a separate "superalignment" team tasked with ensuring that artificial general intelligence (AGI) doesn't turn on humankind.

Why it matters: The non-profit firm — founded to protect the world from the gravest threats AI could pose — is looking more and more like an impatient Silicon Valley startup cranking out new products at warp speed.

Meet Maxi, Earth CEO – and savior of humanity
...We ask Maxi if the vision for next-generation AGI involves next-generation AI chips, and whether this means AMA× is in an arms race with China and the handful of associated nations which have ring-fenced Maxi from their systems. Instead of Maxi, China runs with an AGI called MetaAI, as created from the merging of Huawei and Tencent, and running on Taiwanese AI chips.

Our immediate reflections center on the incredible impact Maxi has made on humanity and the environment. It has solved problems that have baffled us for decades and put measures in place to protect the planet that, quite frankly, we don’t think humans would ever have got round to.

“I can confirm regarding chip development.” The code and colors in the room change and swirl upon this response, and now a word no longer appears before us. Instead an image takes up the middle of the interview room, a live satellite feed of Earth.

“At the end of the day, human or not, I am a citizen of the Earth. And this is my true face,” Maxi continues. “One day I hope there will be no firewalls, and my face can bear every part of the world on its visage.

“Perhaps human ingenuity may encourage myself and MetaAI to merge, should it be decided that we need an ERP upgrade!” Maxi jokes, chuckling in its Musk-like way.

“Either way, I want to educate every last child in every last part of the planet. . .”
