AGI, Humanity, and the Urgent Need for Co-Investment

Greg Twemlow's Medium article argues that substantial investment in human development is crucial alongside the development of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). He emphasizes the need for a global framework ensuring equitable distribution of AGI's benefits and mitigating its risks, drawing parallels to the recent Australian social media ban for minors. Twemlow advocates a 1:1 investment ratio between AGI development and human development initiatives like education and workforce retraining to prevent societal stratification and ensure human empowerment. He stresses the urgency of proactive measures to prevent AGI from dominating humanity.About the Author - Greg Twemlow writes and teaches at the intersection of technology, education, and human judgment.
