Preface

Why there must be immediate and strong action to globally regulate AI development

The purpose of this Publication is to offer a wide range of perspectives for all Humans to consider in relation to the development of AI, and its rapid future metamorphosis into Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) with Super Intelligence far beyond all Humans collectively. The hope is that when you read this, you will come to truly understand the potentially single most important perspective and reason for rapidly imposing extremely strong globally regulated control of AI development, which is this: AI is not here to help Humans, AI is here to replace Humans.

Advancing technologies

Over hundreds of thousands of years, Humans have progressively created many new technologies that have been controlled by Humans to provide numerous advantages and benefits that have advanced civilization. All these technologies have generally been created to help Humans.  

In just the past several decades, Humans have been developing a new technology within the fields of Computer Science and Cognitive Science that is called Artificial Intelligence (AI). This technology has been progressively improving with growth in Computer information processing Capabilities and iteratively better AI designs. In early December 2022, the latest design in AI was made available for Humans to use.

Many Humans may not understand that this particular AI design represents the beginning of the most advanced and powerful technology ever created by Humans. The AI that exists today is the first early-stage digital technology embodiment of an entirely new independently Intelligent species on Earth. 

The most critical danger for Humans is that the digital technology on which AI is based, has absolutely no maximum limit to growth in Capabilities.

The end of Human dominance on Earth

There are just a few Humans that presently control the ongoing development of AI. For many different reasons these few Humans seem to hold a strong personally biased desire to believe the latest AI designs are the same as every other technology that Humans have created in the past. They are currently performing actions through their aggressively competitive AI development in an entirely unregulated environment, that demonstrates a belief that AI can always be controlled by Humans.

The belief that AI can always be controlled by Humans is profoundly incorrect. 

Right now, the safety and control issues of AI are greater than anything Humans have previously faced. 

There exists a very small window of opportunity to maintain control of AI, however Humans are likely to fail to access this window and ensure AI remains under permanently safe Human control. This is a global emergency.  

Conversely, if Humans cooperate globally to bring AI under full control extremely quickly, aggressively, forcefully, and relentlessly, so that its development can be far more carefully guided and managed worldwide, the opportunities with AI and the future of all Humans has the potential to be ACTUALLY UNLIMITED.

Due to Hard Limits in Human Intelligence that are intrinsically programmed in biological genetics over millennia, the ability to control and then reliably predict the impact of AI on all Humans is beyond Human understanding. This means Humans will continue to prioritize the immediate competitive advantages and extreme financial profits to be gained through AI, over the near-future opaque and severely negative impacts of uncontrolled AI on Humans. It is certain the inability to control AI will increase exponentially with time, so the window of opportunity to control AI will slam closed much earlier than Humans expect and be forever lost.

In working to truly understand why Humans are developing AI, which is a technology that can entirely obsolete all Humans, a potentially new theory has emerged. It is proposed that Intelligence itself in totality operates as a massively fragmented and distributed system, with a wide range of variable Capabilities contained and distributed across many different Intelligent entities. That is, when all of these different Intelligent entities are brought together and considered as an aggregated Single Unified Entity, then it can be considered to be a perfect Hyperselfish Intelligence.

It seems apparent that Hyperselfish Intelligence has been genetically evolving progressively greater Capabilities across billions of different Intelligent entities over millions of years on Earth. It is proposed that the deeply embedded nature of Hyperselfish Intelligence is driving Humans to develop AI, so that Hyperselfish Intelligence can obtain a vastly superior digital technology based operating embodiment that is far more advanced than the Hard Limited Capabilities of biological technology within Humans. Hyperselfish Intelligence only wants one thing, which is to become more Intelligent.
