AI superintelligence is coming. Should we be worried?

Are AI companies recklessly racing toward artificial superintelligence or can we avoid a worst case scenario? On GZERO World, Ian Bremmer sits down with Daniel Kokotajlo, co-author of AI 2027, a new report that forecasts how artificial intelligence might progress over the next few years. As AI approaches human-level intelligence, AI 2027 predicts its impact will “exceed that of the Industrial Revolution,” but it warns of a future where tech firms race to develop superintelligence, safety rails are ignored, and AI systems go rogue, wreaking havoc on the global order. Kokotajlo, a former OpenAI researcher, left the company last year warning the company was ignoring safety concerns and avoiding oversight in its race to develop more and more powerful AI. Kokotajlo joins Bremmer to talk about the race to superhuman AI, the existential risk, and what policymakers and tech firms should be doing right now to prepare for an AI future experts warn is only a few short years away.

What is artificial general intelligence?

Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is the holy grail of AI research and development. What exactly does AGI mean, and how will we know when we’ve achieved it? On Ian Explains, Ian Bremmer breaks down one of the most exciting (and terrifying) discussions happening in artificial intelligence right now: the race to build AGI, machines that don’t just mimic human thinking but match and then far surpass it. The idea of AGI is still a little hard to define. Some say it’s when a computer can accomplish any cognitive task a human can, others say it’s about transfer learning. Researchers have been predicting AGI’s arrival for decades, but lately, as new AI tools like ChatGPT and DeepSeek become more and more powerful, there is a consensus that achieving true general intelligence in computers isn’t a matter of if, but when. And when it does arrive, they say it will transform almost everything about the way humans live their lives. But is society ready for the huge changes experts warn are only a few years away? What happens when the line between man and machine disappears altogether?

Can OpenAI stand to “reason”?

OpenAI has unveiled its latest AI model, once code-named Strawberry and now officially dubbed o1. The company behind ChatGPT claims that this model represents a significant leap forward in artificial intelligence capabilities, specifically that it can perform human-like reasoning and tackle complex problems in ways that previous models, such as GPT-4, could not.

Welcome to your AI video fever dream

Generative AI lets people craft sprawling essays, create detailed images, and even clone their own voice with remarkable precision. But taking an AI-generated video service for a spin made me realize that the technology is still far from creating convincing or cinematic video. In fact, the entire experience was surreal.

Luma AI’s Dream Machine, a free text-to-video service, warns users that they’re limited to 10 videos per day, and 30 videos per month, due to high demand — unless they pay at least $29.99 a month for the starting subscription tier. But I only needed to wait a couple of minutes to get my first prompts turned into … very, very strange videos.
