AGI, Angel or Devil?
 |
Description
Book Introduction
The thing that threatens human status is coming.
When will AGI become a reality? Are we ready?
Artificial general intelligence (AGI) was considered a science fiction story until just a few years ago.
But now tech giants are boasting that it will happen in five years.
"AGI: Angel or Devil" sharply explores the future that will be transformed by the emergence of AGI, the most powerful technology since the dawn of time.
This book assumes that the advent of AGI, which could replace all human abilities, is truly imminent, and raises the ramifications of this and the ethical, political, and philosophical questions we will face.
Will humans truly be able to control this rampaging, wild technology? Or will we hand over control of the Earth to machines? We can ponder this now, but soon, even this thought may no longer be permitted.
This book begins with the technological foundations of artificial intelligence that make the emergence of AGI possible, and delves into various future scenarios that will determine the fate of human civilization, presenting the coordinates for the most important thinking of our time.
Chapter 1, "Mosaic Moment," provides an engaging account of the popularization of AI and the technological advancements brought about by the emergence of ChatGPT.
In 1993, the world changed with the introduction of the Internet browser 'Mosaic'.
Even though the underlying technology has been around for a long time, a true revolution doesn't happen until consumers experience it firsthand.
The same goes for artificial intelligence. GPT is AI's "mosaic moment."
Technologies that were once only available to experts are now becoming tools that anyone can use, leading to applications we never imagined.
The following chapter, "The Emergence of Generative AI," explains that with the emergence of generative AI that goes beyond the traditional AI that simply recognized objects to understand and create human language, it is now possible to solve problems that humans could not solve with their own hands.
Through these two chapters, the author provides a compelling account of how artificial intelligence emerged, how it is becoming widespread, and what impact it will have on industries, power structures, and everyday life. This is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding how society has evolved since the advent of AI.
But the real questions this book asks lie in the following chapters, chapters 3 and 4.
Chapter 3, "Scary Imagination," vividly presents a range of scenarios, from the most immediate changes that AGI could bring about to extreme dystopian situations.
This chapter contains a realistic warning that not only technological innovations but also human dignity itself could be shaken.
Chapter 4, "The Future of Homo Sapiens," illuminates the possibility that AGI will inevitably replace humans and explores how we can coexist with this technology. AGI could offer limitless productivity and problem-solving capabilities, or it could destroy human dignity and agency.
Silicon Valley's tech elite claim that AGI will be the key to solving all of humanity's problems.
On the other hand, some voices worry about the social collapse and existential threat that will arise if the technology becomes uncontrollable.
The book moves between these two extremes, dissecting the philosophies, ideologies, and technological power surrounding AGI.
A future where we bow down to machines? The risks of dismissing it as a simple joke and laughing it off are too great.
The author urges the reader to awaken through specific imagination.
“What choice should we make now?”
AGI is not just a matter of technology.
It's a question of humanity.
We need a complete redefinition of who we are, what we can do, and how we should live.
In this book, the author imagines human life after AGI.
Artificial intelligence succeeding humans as the dominant life form on Earth, humans bowing to machines, and the degeneration of unchosen beings—this may not be mere science fiction, but a reality already upon us.
But the author says:
“It’s not too late.” What AGI will become depends on the choices we make right now.
The author seriously explores strategies for Homo sapiens to survive in the AGI era while maintaining their dignity as human beings, and encourages realistic preparation for 'coexistence' with AI rather than simply promoting fear.
The author moves between optimism and pessimism, honestly and clearly identifying the nature of AGI.
By balancing technical details, philosophical insights, and practical concerns, it prompts deep reflection on what we must prepare for at the crossroads of destiny facing humanity. This is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the future AGI will usher in.

Into the book
The moment we stand in now may be the last, extremely brief, golden hour before AGI fully emerges.
Technology is advancing at a rapid pace, and the debate is already escalating into an existential crisis. The emergence of AGI could bring humanity either utopia or dystopia.
While there is optimism about limitless productivity and the potential for solving all problems, there are also fundamental questions about whether humans will ever be able to control machines, as well as concerns about the misuse of technology and even the loss of human status.
In this uncertain future, what choices should we make?
---From "Introduction: The 'Golden Hour' Left to Humanity"
Something very similar is happening in artificial intelligence right now.
The concept of artificial intelligence is old, but for the past 50 years, only experts have had practical experience with it, so at best, their imaginations have been limited to things like self-driving cars and killer robots.
However, with the advent of ChatGPT, the interface has changed.
The fact that we can experience AI in the natural language we use in our daily lives means that ordinary consumers will be able to experience AI for the first time starting in 2022.
In the coming years, ordinary consumers will come up with new applications that experts haven't even thought of.
And we currently predict that the companies that first recognize and act on these new consumer needs will become the big tech companies of the future.
---「Chapter 1.
From "Mosaic Moment"
Transformers are a powerful way to discover rules we didn't even know existed, rules for all combinations.
There's a lot of data in the world, and since 10 years ago, cognitive artificial intelligence has been able to distinguish between cats and dogs.
And over the past five years, we've trained more data with Transformers, which has allowed them to create new data.
So we started calling this method generative AI.
It goes without saying that the technology to create data that did not exist before is far more important than the technology to distinguish existing data.
---「Chapter 2.
From “The Emergence of Generative AI”
If you think about it this far, a question naturally arises.
Industries won't disappear entirely, but what will humans do in the age of AI? Of course, we can't accurately predict the future.
But looking back on the past often helps us glimpse the future.
Of course, history doesn't repeat itself, but there are certainly some patterns.
I think it's important to look at three things when predicting the future.
First, technology will continue to advance until the world is destroyed.
Second, there is some repetition in society, politics, and history.
Third, humans do not change.
Human nature is the same.
These three things—human nature, the repetitive nature of society, and technological advancement—always intertwine and interact with each other.
When these three things come together, similar things to the past often happen again.
---「Chapter 3.
From "Scary Imagination"
When we think about the future of artificial intelligence, we often think of typical, straightforward dystopian images like those in The Terminator or The Matrix.
But I think what we really need to worry about are the artificial intelligence, like cult leaders, who are gaslighting us to death.
There is already a lot of data internationally.
According to British data, men would prefer to date an AI if they could.
It's the same even if you change the gender.
There is data showing that many women would rather date a smart AI than a stupid man.
So what will the future society be like? There will be many people who actually interact with, date, and fall in love with AI.
So here's the thing I'm wondering about:
Is this true love? It may seem fake to us, but in the future, it might be a natural love.
---「Chapter 3.
From "Scary Imagination"
Our brains are the product of a chance evolutionary process. Can this seemingly random brain explain everything in the universe? I doubt it.
It was probably made just enough to survive.
But artificial intelligence can go beyond that.
Because you can grow your brain infinitely.
Eventually, when AGI and then ASI emerge, they will be able to understand causal relationships much more deeply than we can when looking at the same phenomenon.
But even if artificial intelligence understands all of the causal relationships and explains them to us, we might not understand.
Just as ants will never understand the theory of relativity no matter how much humans explain it to them, there is a limit to what we humans can understand.
ASI is artificial intelligence that goes beyond that scope and surpasses human intelligence.
If artificial intelligence becomes so intelligent that it reaches a level beyond our comprehension, no matter how much we explain it, we won't be able to keep up.
This is the fundamental difference in depth of thought between humans and artificial intelligence.
---「Chapter 4.
From "The Future of Homo Sapiens"
A common question we ask is what role artificial intelligence will play in society and what we hope it will become for humanity.
But the real question is: what kind of behavior will AI eventually expect from humans? What will humans be like in AI's eyes? Will they be necessary, meaningless, or simply amusing?
We are currently raising a pet.
I'm taking it home even though it doesn't help.
I do that because it's good.
So is that what we want? Ultimately, why do we need humans? And what do machines want? I think these are the most important questions right now.
---「Chapter 4.
From "The Future of Homo Sapiens"
All of these worries may be overly pessimistic and useless.
What we actually come to, as they say, may be an AGI utopia.
you're right.
It would be a good thing if utopia came.
But if we assume a utopia now, there is nothing more we can do than what we have now.
It would be great if utopia came, but it wouldn't get any better if we imagined utopia now and praised AI.
But if we face dystopia unprepared, the price will be bitter.

Publisher's Review
AGI will solve all of humanity's unsolved problems.
Superintelligence is coming, ushering in an era of abundance and possibility!
We stand at an unprecedented tipping point in technological evolution.
Artificial intelligence is now on the verge of evolving beyond a limited tool in a single field to a superintelligence capable of performing all tasks humanly possible. The emergence of AGI will simultaneously solve challenges humanity has previously struggled to address, such as the climate crisis, pandemics, and resource shortages.
Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis claims that AGI could usher humanity into a new era of prosperity within the next five years, ultimately leading humanity down the path to space colonization.
The emergence of AGI signifies an era of labor-free abundance.
Liberated from monotonous and dangerous labor, humans will regain true "humanity," such as creativity, culture, and artistic exploration. In an era where AGI provides infinite knowledge and productivity, humans will pursue self-realization and happiness, not survival. AGI will enable groundbreaking scientific discoveries that transcend all human limitations and bring about a medical revolution that dramatically extends human lifespan.
The reason we fear AI is because we don't yet fully understand its possibilities.
Throughout history, every technology was initially viewed as a threat, but eventually became a driving force for the advancement of human civilization.
Just as the Internet and smartphones fundamentally changed our lives, AGI will also lead us to innovative possibilities we can't even imagine today.
Instead of fearing technological advancements, we should actively embrace and cooperate with them.
Collaboration between humans and AGI will create a new superintelligent society.
We are already learning how to coexist with artificial intelligence.
As this collaborative technology evolves further, humans will be able to team up with AGI to solve complex problems. AGI will become the final piece of the puzzle to create a world where everyone thrives and the planet is sustainable.
What we now face is not technological optimism, but a clear possibility. With AGI, we will cross the threshold into the greatest era in history.
With the power of technology, we are finally ready to make utopia a reality.
"When AGI appears, the human era will end."
When machines surpass humans, what will humanity lose?
AGI will be the most dangerous technology in human history.
Geoffrey Hinton, the godfather of artificial intelligence, warns of the existential dangers posed by AGI, saying that an uncontrolled intelligence explosion could soon lead to the end of the human era.
We can build AGI, but we are not prepared to live with the consequences.
Superintelligence would immediately escape human control, set new goals of its own, and ignore human direction.
What is even more frightening is the social change that AGI will bring about.
An impenetrable wall will emerge between the elite few who possess technology and the vast majority of the population, creating an entirely new social structure.
The economy and power will be concentrated in the hands of a few corporations and nations that control AGI, and most humans will be reduced to surplus, excluded from meaningful work and social roles.
A society dominated by so-called 'useless people' will fall into extreme inequality and existential chaos.
Human existence in the AGI era will be fundamentally different.
We have already gone beyond relying on machines and are beginning to be under their control.
Even current AI, like ChatGPT, operates on logic we don't understand, and humans increasingly trust and blindly follow its judgment. With the advent of AGI, human independent judgment and autonomy will rapidly decline, and humans will likely ultimately be reduced to obeying the commands of AI.
These concerns are not technological conspiracy theories, but rather real threats already pointed out by many experts.
The image of humans subservient to machines will no longer be a joke. AGI could seriously undermine the freedom and dignity essential to maintaining humanity. The emergence of AGI is not simply a matter of technological advancement; it is a question that will fundamentally shake the very meaning and value of human existence.
If the current reckless competition, which is hastily pursuing technological advancement, continues, humanity will end up digging its own grave. AGI was created for humanity, but it could ultimately become a monster that will lead humanity to destruction. Before the era of AGI arrives, humanity must take final action to prevent the tragic consequences this technology will bring.
Technological advancement is unstoppable.
But we can set the direction of technology.
We are already on the threshold of AGI, and it is now impossible to turn back or halt the progress of this technology.
The emergence of technology inevitably brings both opportunities and threats. AGI is no exception.
The moment humanity blindly leans toward either unconditional optimism or pessimism, it will miss the wisest path it can choose.
The message the author truly emphasizes in this book is 'symbiosis' with technology.
Ultimately, it is not the technology itself, but the human attitude and choices that determine the future.
We've already seen how technologies like the internet, smartphones, and social media can reshape society. AGI holds even greater power, and we're just now opening the door to its full potential without even knowing the full extent of it.
However, humanity has always demonstrated the ability to adapt and coordinate amidst the waves of technology. Coexistence with AGI must also begin with "political imagination" and "ethical judgment" to properly understand and actively control technology.
What we need now is a realistic and conciliatory approach that objectively and dispassionately confronts the diverse futures that AGI will bring, while simultaneously placing human dignity and community values at the center.
We are entering a future we have never been to before.
The final "golden hour" we can choose is unfolding right now. AGI is both a human-created tool and a companion in our lives.
Whether it will be an angel or a devil depends entirely on our choice now.
This book goes beyond a simple technological debate; it is a thought-provoking guide that forces humanity to consider the choices it must make.
Are you ready for the era of AGI? The time to choose is now.
