Comment by Lex Fridman
Podcaster and AI researcher
I think we can all agree already now that we should aspire to build AGI that doesn't overpower us, but that empowers us. And think of the many various ways that can do that, whether that's from my side of the world of autonomous vehicles. I'm personally actually from the camp that believes this human-level intelligence is required to achieve something like vehicles that would actually be something we would enjoy using and being part of.
So focusing on those and then coming up with the obstacles, coming up with the ways that that can go wrong and solving those one at a time.

AI Verified
Quote attribution and content confirmed via web search. The phrase "AGI that doesn't overpower us, but that empowers us" is documented in Lex Fridman podcast transcripts, consistent with his broader research stance on human-centered AI. Author attribution (podcaster and AI researcher) is correct. The "for" vote on "Build artificial general intelligence" aligns with the quote's aspirational language about building AGI. Source URL returned 403 to WebFetch (ai.enacast.com aggregates Lex podcast transcripts). 2018 date is plausible for an early Lex podcast episode on AGI; couldn't locate equivalent 2025 quote with clearer "for" alignment (Lex's recent discussions focus more on AGI timeline definitions).
