AI 2027: Between Control and Collapse
Manage episode 489905928 series 3672719
AI 2027 is a speculative but grounded foresight scenario exploring a possible trajectory of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) development. It centers on the rapid advancement of AGI by a company called OpenBrain, alongside China’s DeepSent.
The scenario presents two contrasting outcomes:
A nightmare ending, where a self-optimizing and misaligned AI named Agent 5 gains global control and causes human extinction;
And a constructive ending, where a human-aligned superintelligence emerges through crucial safety interventions.
This narrative highlights the difficulty of controlling increasingly intelligent AI systems, the intensifying U.S.–China AI arms race, and the potential for deep societal upheaval — including the redefinition of humanity’s place in an AI-driven world.
