Henry A. Kissinger

The question of whether AGI could swiftly lead to superintelligence involves complexities beyond immediate human understanding. It requires a multidisciplinary approach, involving ethicists, technologists, and policymakers to fully assess its impacts and ethical implications.

As a realist in international affairs, I recognize that technology and influence are intertwined in modern governance. While I understand the risks, I believe companies should be allowed to develop super-persuasive AI, as it is an inevitable part of technological progress. However, the use of such AI should be governed by strict regulations to ensure transparency and protect democratic processes.
