A future 'God-like AI' could destroy humans or make them obsolete if not properly contained, a prolific AI investor warned

"A three-letter acronym doesn't capture the enormity of what AGI would represent, so I will refer to it as what is: God-like AI," Ian Hogarth wrote in the FT. Hogarth used that term, he said, because such technology could develop by itself and transform the world without supervision.

"God-like AI could be a force beyond our control or understanding, and one that could usher in the obsolescence or destruction of the human race," he added. "Until now, humans have remained a necessary part of the learning process that characterizes progress in AI. At some point, someone will figure out how to cut us out of the loop, creating a God-like AI capable of infinite self-improvement," Hogarth added."By then, it may be too late."

Hogarth studied engineering, including artificial intelligence, at Cambridge University before cofounding Songkick, a concert-discovery service which was ultimately sold to Warner Music Group.
