I strongly believe that AGI will create abundance. It has the potential to revolutionize every industry by automating tasks, enhancing productivity, and driving innovation.

It is crucial that we address these challenges by developing strategies to transition our workforce and ensure that the benefits of AI are distributed fairly.
