“The era of AGI is coming in 2028!”
The First Survival Guide to Preparing for the AGI Era

The emergence of ChatGPT, a "generative artificial intelligence" unveiled by the American company OpenAI in late 2022, brought about both wonder and fear.
ChatGPT is an AI that reads and fuses almost all text produced by humans, and then performs language-based intellectual tasks such as answering questions or writing instructions through conversation.
Will ChatGPT be the starting point of the evolution of Homo sapiens into a new species, or will it be the seed of misfortune that will send human civilization drifting to an unknown destination?

A recent research report commissioned by the U.S. State Department is a hot topic.
“AGI is considered a major risk factor for catastrophic loss of control,” the report said, noting that “OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Antropy, and Nvidia have all publicly stated that they could reach AGI by 2028.”

The author argues that even setting aside grand narratives like safety, security, and AI ethics, this AI technology “can revolutionize human thought and cognitive activity because it can collect, refine, and refine human thoughts and experiences.”
This book asks whether we are ready to find answers to existential questions like, "How will our lives be different in 10 years? How will our job ecosystem change? How should Generation MZ adapt to the new era of work? What will future generations be like if we continue to follow the current education system and culture?"

The author suggests that as a way to prepare for an uncertain future, 'Know your enemy and know yourself, and you will not be in danger in a hundred battles.'
It is self-evident that without understanding the differences in the nature and "intellectual abilities" of humans and AI, it is impossible to develop strategies to bridge the various gaps.
This book is the first survival guide to prepare for the AGI era, containing strategies for humans and AI to coexist and simultaneously co-evolve until the AGI era by finding out the direction of AI technology derived from ChatGPT as much as possible (GP) and understanding human nature and abilities more clearly (JiGi).

Now, what are we preparing for?
After the second cognitive revolution started with Chat GPT
Prepare for a world where humans and AI coexist!

In 2010, there was an event that left a mark on the history of human 'intellectual revolution'.
The advent of Google ushered in the 'era of search.'
However, you had to first find the information or facts you needed through Googling, and then read the content to extract the necessary parts.
To help with this, tools based on natural language processing technologies such as document classification, information extraction, machine translation, and question-answering have emerged.
Up to this point, most of the techniques for deconstructing or 'analyzing' data have been applied, focusing on 'reading' skills, and the 'creation process' of writing sentences and composing paragraphs to create the final work has remained a unique domain that humans must undertake.

However, ChatGPT 'understands' human language by absorbing all the content in the 'human brain', and mixes the content here and there to create new text with the content desired by the user.
This is why ChatGPT is called a 'generative' AI, differentiating it from the 'analytical'-oriented AI era.
If "generative" AI, capable of replacing the intellectual activities previously reserved for humans, performs mental labor here and there, what will humans do? What unique domains and jobs will remain that only humans can perform? These are difficult questions that require consideration of human nature and capabilities.

This book examines how the AI ​​technology paradigm shift, starting with ChatGPT, will change our lives and jobs, and explores how we should prepare for future generations.
A key element that must be incorporated into these discussions is an understanding of the diversity of human capabilities.
It is absurd to speculate on the survival strategies of future generations and prepare for the transition to the AGI era without understanding the differences between generative AI and human nature.
The first part of this book (Chapters 1 and 2) explains the core concepts of ChatGPT and 'generative AI' technology in a language accessible to the general public, allowing them to gauge its impact and future development direction.
Here, we will connect the ChatGPT technology with how the human brain works as revealed by neuroscience, making this technology relatively accessible.

The second part (Chapters 3 and 4) examines the significance of the "second cognitive revolution" triggered by ChatGPT from a historical perspective, contrasting the opportunities brought about by AI with the existential and potential risks.
In particular, it highlights the need for coexistence between humans and AI by looking at the job ecosystem that will change with the advent of AI.

Chapter 5, which is the final part, compares the similarities and fundamental differences between human intelligence and artificial intelligence, summarizing the current status and limitations of 'generative AI' and examining the inherent nature of humans.
Chapter 6 presents the essential skills that future generations must cultivate as they prepare for the AGI era, along with a method of coexistence, and suggests a direction for how education should be transformed for the "new humanity."

Homo Symbius: Humans Coexisting with AI
Human survival in the AGI era
It depends on comprehensive thinking and strengthening humanity.

The author believes that “clearly recognizing and differentiating the similarities and differences between humans and AI to maximize humanity is the only way to create a society where humans and AI can coexist appropriately.”
This book does not stop at a humanistic and sociological discourse on AI, nor does it focus on technical explanations or applications of AI.
The author says he wants to bring a human touch to the AI ​​field by connecting the two extremes of humans and AI, thereby leading to human-centered thinking.
Because I believe that 'AI should remain AI, and humans should remain humans.'

How will the world change in the near future? Generative AI will become more technologically advanced, and an open AI ecosystem will gradually become established.
Vision AI will also overcome its current limitations by connecting with powerful large-scale language models to understand real-world context and user intent.
As technological advancements advance, issues such as AI safety, reliability, and ethics will receive significant attention from academia and industry.
Because without resolving these issues, the industrialization of AI is not sustainable.
As cooperation between humans and AI naturally expands, a form of coexistence will take hold. However, as we enter the era of AGI, where AI creates AI, and AI acts as the brain of robots, new types of threats will emerge.

In terms of jobs, what will come will come and what will come will come.
However, the pace of change is so rapid that it will be difficult to cope with the current education system and learning objectives.
The author says that even if we aim for coexistence and co-evolution with AI, human 'life' must always be at the center, and in order to cope with this change, if we look at the education of future generations at the individual, organizational, and school levels and go into detail centered on the 'nine essential abilities' that must be possessed in the AGI era presented in Chapter 6 of this book, we will be able to minimize the shock that we will receive when we enter the AGI era.
