We discuss the rapid advancement of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), highlighting that its development is primarily led by private companies, unlike previous major technological leaps driven by governments. This shift raises questions about the lack of centralized oversight and regulation as AGI permeates various aspects of life, from the workplace to national security. The author also discusses the geopolitical competition, particularly between the United States and China, viewing AGI as a new kind of arms race with potentially significant consequences for global power dynamics and societal values. Finally, the piece touches on the potential disruption to the job market and emphasizes that the future impact of AGI depends on human choices and collective effort in guiding its development responsibly.
