The Few Dominating AI Could Wield ‘Insane Concentration of Power,’ Researcher Warns

Imagine a world where intelligent machines easily outmatch humans across a broad spectrum of tasks, deconstructing complex concepts and mathematical equations in seconds, and bringing to life creative products and ideas that once seemed inseparable from the human mind.
In this world, your artificial intelligence (AI) model is not merely a chatbot editing your emails and completing tasks like a digital assistant; it’s mapping out problems and making decisions, probing deep intellectual paradoxes, and doing all of this autonomously, without requiring human input.
This is one way “superintelligence,” or artificial general intelligence, could manifest if researchers succeed in scaling large language models to this threshold. …
