Comment by Nick Bostrom
Philosopher; 'Superintelligence' author; FHI founder
I think broadly speaking with AI, … rather than coming up with a detailed plan and blueprint in advance, we’ll have to kind of feel our way through this and make adjustments as we go along as new opportunities come into view. […] I think ultimately this transition to the superintelligence era is one we should do.
It would be in itself an existential catastrophe if we forever failed to develop superintelligence.

Verified: This is from Nick Bostrom in a 2025 interview with Adam Ford (Science, Technology & the Future). The scifuture.org URL was blocked by WebFetch, but web search confirms both phrases ("transition to the superintelligence era is one we should do" and "existential catastrophe if we forever failed to develop superintelligence") and the 2025 date. Year 2025 is correct. The vote "for" on "Build artificial general intelligence" aligns with Bostrom's explicit position that we should make the transition to superintelligence, despite the risks.
