Artificial intelligence presents various potential dangers, but the most significant one is not that it could become rogue or unaligned. These are surely pressing problems but at least, they have a lot of attention in the public and among experts. The most challenging issue, however, is the democratization of artificial general intelligence (AGI).

If AGI is developed and operated in a non-democratic society, it could have severe consequences. Unfortunately, this issue is not given enough attention despite its importance. Public disclosure of source codes or individual control over AI is not a solution, as it would just lead to many people using AI for potentially harmful ideas. Instead, the solution is to deploy one central AGI that is governed by fundamental principles aimed at reducing overall suffering and augmenting prosperity for all sentient entities. This approach allows for collective participation while reducing potential dangers posed by AGI.

The biggest threat posed by AI besides unalignment is alignment with unsuitable entities like governments, corporations, or the military. Any technology that can be exploited for harmful purposes is bound to be exploited, similar to how airplanes and nuclear fission were used in warfare, and computers were exploited by entities like Facebook and the NSA for surveillance.

If AGI is feasible, it will inevitably manifest sooner or later. The crucial question is whether society is prepared for AGI and how we can reduce the likelihood of its misuse. Education is essential to promote social change and democratization of society. Even if AGI proves unattainable, democratization will remain imperative, as AI will become increasingly potent and hazardous if it remains monopolized by a few.

Therefore, the focus should not be on how to attain AGI but on how to democratize society, corporations, and power over AI. Control over AGI must not remain concentrated in the hands of a few, as it could lead to immense suffering. The solution involves finding ways to collectively regulate and control AGI via democracy that is as direct as possible - the ideal but probably impracticable system would be grassroots democracy.

Thanks for reading.
