Debate: Will Humans Still Make Judgment Calls in an Aligned AGI World?
creabuntur · x · 2026-08-19
A debate sparked over whether AI research can be fully automated. One side argues that with aligned AGI, human judgment calls are obsolete and should be fully delegated to faster systems, analogous to a chess grandmaster delegating moves. The other side counters that strategic decisions—setting goals and navigating trade-offs—will remain a human responsibility, defining the future of "AI research" much like the mix of strategy and implementation in party planning.
