In the article, he argues that AGI possessing cognitive abilities approaching those of the entire human brain may be only a few years away, using this premise to discuss the upcoming changes and governance approaches in the era of frontier AI. The reposter also emphasized that this is an article worth reading carefully, as the author is not only a leading scientist in the AI field but also a consistent voice on governance issues.
