Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, recently shown Some of the major threats associated with Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).

This follows the release of o3, OpenAI's latest innovative model, which has once again sparked debate about the imminent arrival of artificial general intelligence (AGI). The model was able to score 87.5% on the ARC-AGI scale, which is designed to measure progress toward general intelligence. There are some ongoing concerns about the potential for artificial general intelligence to threaten humans beyond their cognitive capabilities.

According to the co-founder of Ethereum, it makes no sense to treat artificial general intelligence as some kind of abstract, invincible force. Instead, he recommended addressing some specific attack vectors. Buterin Threats such as AGI exploiting software vulnerabilities, manipulating humans with misinformation, releasing digital biological agents, taking control of physical infrastructure, or significantly outperforming humans in intelligence were mentioned.

In a recent social media post, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin also opined that cryptocurrencies are “just one part of a bigger story.”

Buterin attached a sophisticated diagram showing how different definition and growth strategies relate to each other. The framework Buterin presents contrasts the physical “world of atoms” with the digital “world of bits.”

Biodefense and cyberdefense measures aim to protect against biological and cyber threats, respectively. There are also tools to ensure information defense and physical resilience.

Rapid improvements in health care as well as brain-computer interfaces can greatly enhance longevity.

Cheap construction and other innovations can also lead to material abundance.

According to the Canadian programmer, blockchain technology, which underpins cryptocurrencies, will likely aid the aforementioned efforts in information defense and other sectors.
