I see the danger of this concentration of power through proprietary AI systems as a much bigger danger than everything else. What works against this is people who think that for reasons of security, we should keep AI systems under lock and key because it’s too dangerous to put it in the hands of everybody. That would lead to a very bad future in which all of our information diet is controlled by a small number of companies who proprietary systems. (source)

Given the exponential progress in machine learning algorithms and computational power, it is plausible that achieving AGI could indeed quickly lead to the development of superintelligence. The transition from AGI to superintelligence could be rapid due to recursive self-improvement and the immense potential of AI to learn and adapt far beyond human capabilities. It is crucial that we establish safety measures and ethical guidelines to manage this transition effectively.
