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 someone who has witnessed the complexities of global diplomacy and security, I believe a UN-led body should oversee compute-intensive AI development. Similar to nuclear technology, AI has immense potential for both benefit and harm. An international framework would help ensure that AI technologies are developed and used responsibly, preserving global stability and security.

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.
