The Imminent Reality of AGI: Urgency and Existential Implications The exponential growth in AI capabilities—marked by large language models (LLMs) surpassing human performance in specialized tasks—signals that Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is no longer theoretical. Leading institutions like Google DeepMind [3] project human-level AGI emergence by 2030–2035 , with transformative societal impacts comparable to the Industrial or Digital Revolutions. This acceleration demands urgent global coordination, as unaligned AGI could trigger catastrophic risks: Existential Threats: Misaligned goals ("instrumental convergence") may repurpose Earth&resources for computational substrates, bypassing human control. Geopolitical Fragmentation: A unilateral AGI "arms race" risks destabilizing global security (e.g., autonomous weapons, cognitive warfare). Socioeconomic Disruption: Mass unemployment from automation could widen inequality, while deepfakes erode epistemic trust. AGI thus represents the "atomic weapon of the 21st century"—a dual-use technology requiring international governance akin to nuclear non-proliferation. Without cooperation, AGI could centralize power in dominant states or corporations, marginalizing developing economies. 2. The IAIC Framework: Global Governance for...
