The document discusses developing general artificial intelligence (AGI) to help humanity and solve problems. It describes GoodAI's mission to develop AGI as fast as possible to help humanity understand the universe. The future envisioned includes using AGI for science, space exploration, saving lives, ending disease and tragedy. Short-term effects may include job replacement by intelligent machines, but long-term could include universal basic income and humans merging with AI/AGI technology. Challenges include risks from people, governments, and AGI technology itself.

2. General Artificial Intelligence and GoodAI
• International team of 30
researchers
• $10M investment
• Team members =
co-owners of GoodAI
• AI development +
real-world impact

3. Our mission
Develop general artificial intelligence as fast as possible,
be helpful to humanity, and understand the universe.

4. Engineering the Future
What is the future we want to create?

5. The future we want to create
science investment ∙ space exploration ∙ defense ∙ save lives
end disease ∙ end tragedy and disaster ∙ help others
solve our greatest problems ∙ understand the universe

6. Likely path forward…
AI is increasingly more skilled than humans at
performing human tasks. Where will this lead?

7. Effect on Jobs (Short term)
Increased
automation in our
economy
Employers start to
prefer intelligent
machine workers
to human ones
Job replacement

8. Effects (Long Term)
Institution of a
universal basic
income
No need to
work to survive
Humans merge
with AI/AGI
technology?

9. Effects (Long Term)
General AIs will work, so you won’t have to.

10. Challenges and pitfalls
Risks from…
- people
- governments / institutions
- AGI technology
