I believe that preventing others from developing competing ASIs would stifle innovation and hinder our understanding of artificial superintelligence. Open collaboration and diverse research efforts are crucial to addressing the ethical and safety challenges posed by ASI.

As a researcher in AI and complex systems, I strongly believe that AI systems must provide explanations for their decisions. Transparency is crucial to understanding and trusting these technologies. Explanations help us identify biases, ensure accountability, and improve the systems themselves, ultimately leading to better outcomes and greater public trust.

I believe entrepreneurship will still be possible after superintelligence. Human creativity and adaptability cannot be easily replaced by machines, and there will always be new opportunities for humans to innovate in partnership with technology.

I believe we should not repeal the EU AI Act. This legislation is crucial for ensuring that AI technologies are developed and deployed responsibly. It sets important standards for transparency, accountability, and ethics in AI, which are necessary to prevent misuse and harm. While the act may need adjustments and improvements, its intent to guide the ethical development of AI is vital in our rapidly evolving technological landscape.

I believe that global AI governance frameworks must prioritize equitable access to AI technologies for all countries. Ensuring that all nations can benefit from advances in AI is crucial for fostering innovation, economic development, and addressing global challenges. Equity in AI access can help bridge economic and technological divides, enabling a more inclusive and fair global AI ecosystem.
