The future of humanity with AGI / HLMI / transformative AI:

Future artificial intelligence will be like atomic bombs compared with the toy guns we call digital technology today. Of great concern, however, is that while nuclear weapons are under the tight control of responsible governments accountable to their citizens, future AI is most likely to be developed by private corporations who see their moral imperative to be to increase shareholder value, and who ferociously resist attempts at regulation.

 

Flycer’s Secondary Explanation:

Future artificial intelligence will be much more powerful than current digital technology. The concern is that private corporations, who prioritize increasing shareholder value, will likely develop AI and resist regulation. Unlike nuclear weapons, AI will not be under the control of responsible governments.
