AGI is coming in the next five years and 99% of people have no idea what this really means. AGI stands for Artificial General Intelligence and it is the moment A.I becomes smarter than humans at everything all at once.
Imagine software that can read every book ever written in a single afternoon, understand it completely, then use that knowledge to solve problems we did not even know existed. In medicine, it will not just find cures, it will redesign how our bodies work. Discoveries that take us decades, will happen in hours.
This is not like the industrial revolution which destroyed some jobs and created others. AGI will outperform humans at all current jobs and any new jobs we invent. This is why people like Sam Altman and Elon Musk speak about universal basic income. When A.I can do everything better than us, what will we do, and how will we earn?
Most A.I researchers believe AGI is just three to seven years away. Not decades from now, but just a few years away. It could be our greatest achievement or our final invention. Either way, every industry from pharma to finance will look completely different in the next decade.
You cannot solve a problem from the same level of awareness that created it. At our current level, universal basic income makes sense. But as our awareness expands, new possibilities will appear. New ways of living and working will emerge. The only real question is, “How quickly can you evolve your awareness and your humanness to adapt?”.
Three Key Takeaways
- AGI will surpass human intelligence in every field.
- Job displacement will be total, not partial.
3. Evolving human awareness and ingenuity will be the key to thriving
