Sam Altman, CEO of Openai, believes that the emergence of AGI can be a solution to one of the world’s biggest social issues, namely reduced birth rate. He hopes that with the arrival of the AGI era, humans will be eager to form larger families with the abundance of time, resources and facilities.
According to Business Insider, world population growth has declined in rece years, and many young people in new generations have delayed or abandoned childbearing due to financial concerns; A trend that Altman considers a “real problem”. However, Openai’s CEO believes that comprehensive artificial ielligence can solve this problem.
Increasing the population of the world with comprehensive artificial ielligence
AGI refers to a very advanced version of artificial ielligence that is capable of reasoning at or beyond the human level, and achieving this is the ultimate goal of many leading companies in this field. According to Altman, this technology will create a world full of “abundance, more time, more resources and poteial” by increasing productivity and wealth in society.
He believes that in such a world, social support will increase and that human focus will change from material concerns to fundameal values. “I think it is clear that the family and the community are two things that make us happy, and I hope we return to them again,” says Altman.
These Altman views are also tied to his personal experience. Earlier this year, he became the first father. “The most importa, meaningful and satisfying is the most importa thing I could imagine,” says Altman.
Of course, he admits that in the early weeks of his father, he “constaly” asks the ChatGPT question and iends to convey the skill of using artificial ielligence as an importa legacy to his child. “My children will never be smarter than artificial ielligence,” Altman said in a podcast. “But they will grow up with abilities more than we can do things that we can’t even imagine because they will be very skilled in using artificial ielligence.”
This concern about the decline in population is not limited to the Altman poison. Ilan Musk, the founder of XAI, who is the father of more than five children, has repeatedly called the birth rate “the biggest threat to civilization” and said he is doing his best to help the crisis crisis.
