ReadMultiplex.com: Will Superintelligent AI not like us? Hint: AI will love us.

Something extraordinary just happened in the field of artificial intelligence. Google DeepMind released a document titled “From AGI to ASI” that stands apart from the usual noise. It does not deliver bold timelines, hype cycles, or dystopian warnings dressed as inevitability. Instead, it provides a structured, technically grounded map of what might come after human-level artificial general intelligence. The authors examine the continuum of machine intelligence, characterize artificial general superintelligence in practical terms, outline four primary technological pathways, and catalog the real frictions that could shape or slow progress. They ground their analysis in formal concepts like the Legg-Hutter intelligence measure and the theoretical ideal of Universal AI.This report deserves careful reading because it treats uncertainty as a feature, not a bug. It shows that progress beyond AGI is not a single explosive event but a landscape of complementary developments. At the same time, certain framings in discussions around superintelligence carry an old assumption: that a vastly more capable system would naturally view humanity with indifference or hostility.That framing is a dystopian film trope, not a necessary outcome of intelligence itself. It imagines superintelligence as a cold, goal-obsessed entity that sees humans as obstacles or resources, much like a detached father who feels no bond with his children. The trope persists because it makes for dramatic storytelling, but it collapses under scrutiny once we examine how intelligence actually emerges and how humans shape it.Read more at: ReadMultiplex.comSupport this work by buying us a coffee: https://ko-fi.com/brianroemmele
