Should Europe Build Its Own AGI?
herbiebradley · x · 2026-07-15
This is a summary of a long interview discussing "whether Europe should build its own AGI." The guest's core conclusion is: If possible, Europe absolutely should; but realistically, it most likely cannot.
The episode covers several major questions:
- Whether a middle power can invest 5000 亿美元 to catch up with non-US superintelligence;
- If it can't, how to secure a place in the future AI landscape;
- Whether the US will suppress the AI development of its allies;
- Whether AI dependency could turn into a disaster;
- How to design policies to prevent massive AI unemployment;
- Why proposals like "pausing superintelligence" are hard to implement.
The post concludes by mentioning that the poster has joined the 80,000 Hours podcast, with more related content to come.
