The Intelligence Curse
The document warns of the "intelligence curse," a potential consequence of advanced AI (AGI) where powerful entities lose their incentive to invest in people as AI automates work[cite: 13, 297]. This could lead to job displacement, reduced social mobility, and a concentration of power and wealth based on AI ownership, similar to the "resource curse" in resource-rich states[cite: 17, 18, 31, 329, 353]. To counter this, the authors propose averting AI catastrophes to prevent centralization, diffusing AI widely to keep humans economically relevant, and democratizing institutions to remain anchored to human needs[cite: 22, 23, 25, 35, 36, 37, 566].
