This document analyzes the implications of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), exploring its potential to redefine human intelligence and exacerbate societal inequalities. It draws parallels between AGI and historical eugenic practices, highlighting the risk of AGI becoming a new tool for social stratification. The text uses The Bell Curve to illustrate the existing issue of a "cognitive elite," and The Footprints of God as a fictional warning against the hubris of creating a superior intelligence. Ultimately, the authors emphasize the ethical considerations and potential dangers associated with AGI development, advocating for responsible innovation to prevent harmful societal consequences. The document concludes by stressing the need for equitable access and ethical oversight in the development and implementation of AGI.
