The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence is set to outpace human intelligence, leading to an existential risk for humanity, as noted by experts like Sam Altman. This progress creates a paradox: our Paleolithic brains struggle to cope with modern technology, resulting in cognitive biases and social division. Our digital interactions often reflect hatred and anger, driven by the attention economy, which thrives on tribal sentiments. As E.O. Wilson stated, humanityâs great challenge lies in reconciling our primitive emotional makeup with the sophisticated technology we create, promoting a pressing need for wisdom alongside knowledge.
The global AI arms race accelerates toward artificial general intelligence (AGI), raising concerns about humanity's future and the risks of becoming less intelligent than our own creations.
Our current reality shows humanity grappling with the challenge of merging Paleolithic emotions with advanced technology, leading to cognitive biases that fuel division instead of unity.
E.O. Wilson described humanity's dilemma: we possess ancient emotions and modern institutions, but wield technology that far surpasses our evolutionary capabilities, leading to societal discord.
As we evolve our technology, we aggregate knowledge faster than our society can gather wisdom, creating an alien world we aren't equipped to navigate.
