I believe the EU should build a CERN for AI because it would foster collaboration across nations, consolidate resources, and accelerate breakthroughs in artificial intelligence. This initiative could lead to more ethical, safe, and robust AI technologies by drawing on the diverse expertise and perspectives that such a collaborative effort would bring together. Just as CERN has been pivotal for advancements in physics, a dedicated AI center could ensure that Europe remains at the forefront of AI research and development.

The transition from AGI to superintelligence isn’t something that could occur quickly or spontaneously. Developing AGI involves complex, incremental advancements, and each step has its own set of challenges and ethical considerations. Moreover, ensuring safety, robustness, and alignment with human values in AGI systems will demand extensive research and strict regulatory frameworks. So, it is highly unlikely that AGI would rapidly evolve into superintelligence without significant intentional effort and oversight.

I believe that the expansion of large language models is a crucial step towards achieving Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). These models' ability to process and understand vast amounts of natural language data mimics a key aspect of human intelligence. As we continue to improve and scale these models, we get closer to replicating the broad cognitive abilities characteristic of human-level intelligence.
