We already have a world awash in superhuman AI; it&#x27;s just that this AI is at perhaps the same level of maturity as computers were in the 17th Century. This AI is of course the corporation: Corporations are effectively human-powered, superhuman AIs.[1] By crowdsourcing intelligence, they optimize for a wide variety of goals, their superhuman decision-making running at the pace of Pascal&#x27;s mechanical calculator. Yet even the nimblest companies can only move so fast.<p>This is to say, even in a hard-takeoff scenario, we would be looking at something that is still hard-limited by its environment, even if it can compete with a 1000-person organization&#x27;s worth of intelligence. The danger isn&#x27;t that it somehow takes over the world by itself; the danger is that we gradually connect it to the same outputs that the decision-making structures of corporate entities are and it ultimately remakes our world with the very tools we give it.<p>Open-sourcing AGI is no more inherently dangerous than open-sourcing any of the software used to run an enterprise business. It is the choice of what we ultimately give it responsibility for that should draw our caution.<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;omniorthogonal.blogspot.com&#x2F;2013&#x2F;02&#x2F;hostile-ai-youre-soaking-in-it.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;omniorthogonal.blogspot.com&#x2F;2013&#x2F;02&#x2F;hostile-ai-youre-...</a>
