Comment by Ben Goertzel

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)

The quote directly supports the full statement: it says that after reaching human-level AGI, "within a few years" it could become "radically superhuman" through recursive self-improvement and an "intelligence explosion."

The quote clearly says human-level AGI could become "radically superhuman" "within a few years" and lead to "an intelligence explosion," which supports that AGI could quickly lead to superintelligence.

Verified. The supplied Futurism article attributes the exact quoted wording to Ben Goertzel; the first two sentences appear in line 107 and the final sentence appears in line 109 of the article. An independent Live Science report also reproduces the same wording and attributes it to his March 1, 2024 Beneficial AGI Summit remarks.

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.
