My own view is once you get to human-level AGI, within a few years you could get a radically superhuman AGI — unless the AGI threatens to throttle its own development out of its own conservatism. I think once an AGI can introspect its own mind, then it can do engineering and science at a human or superhuman level. It should be able to make a smarter AGI, then an even smarter AGI, then an intelligence explosion. AI Verified source (2024)

Verification History

AI Verified Verified via web search. Ben Goertzel (SingularityNET founder) made this statement at the Beneficial AGI Summit 2024, reported by Live Science and Futurism (March 2024). The Futurism URL returned 403 to WebFetch but the quote is confirmed verbatim through Live Science, Yahoo, IFLScience, Twisted Sifter, and other secondary sources. The vote 'for' the statement 'AGI could quickly lead to superintelligence' aligns correctly with Goertzel's explicit claim that human-level AGI would lead to radically superhuman AGI within a few years via intelligence explosion. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 21h ago
