Regulating Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)

Abstract

This chapter discusses whether on-going EUEuropean Union (EU) policymaking on AI is relevant for Artificial General IntelligenceArtificial general intelligence (AGI) and what it would mean to potentially regulate it in the future. AGI is typically contrasted with narrow Artificial Intelligence (AI)AI-narrow, which excels only within a specific given context. Although many researchers are working on AGI, there is uncertainty about the feasibility of developing it. If achieved, AGI could have cognitiveCognitive capabilities similar to or beyond those of humans and may be able to perform a broad range of tasks. There are concerns that such AGI could undergo recursive circles of self-improvement, potentially leading to superintelligenceSuperintelligence. With such capabilities, superintelligent AGI could be a significant power factor in society. However, dystopian superintelligenceSuperintelligence scenarios are highly controversial and uncertain, so regulating existing narrow AIAI-narrow should be a priority.
