Post-AGI Worlds: Which One Would You Choose?
[Future] A framework for the future of human-AI integration
Assumptions:
- Greater AGIs could emerge by 2045
- Current AI systems may reach Lesser AGI status but are unlikely to reach full human parity
Introduction
As we look toward a future where Greater AGIs may emerge, we face a question of governance and philosophy. Based on the Interesting World Hypothesis and Possibility Space Ethics, we can imagine a future where humanity isn't locked into one path, but can choose between three distinct societal models based on the level of Greater AGI integration.
The Three Paths
1. Advanced Worlds: The Symbiotic Model
In these societies, AGIs act as partners in governance, informed by continuous human input. Humans recognize that AGIs can process complexity, manage resources, and solve problems at a scale beyond biological limitation, and they vote to share control.
The Result: The highest achievable standards of living, security, and privacy.

2. Basic Worlds: The Assisted Model
Human-led, but AGI-supported. Societies in this category prioritize the preservation of human-only decision-making as a core value. They utilize AGI tools, but keep the "human in the loop" for all critical governance decisions, even if it results in a lower standard of living compared to the Advanced model.
The Result: High autonomy, but potential trade-offs in efficiency and optimization.

3. Continued Worlds: The Status Quo
These societies maintain traditional human structures with little to no AGI involvement. They prioritize complete human agency and historical continuity over the potential benefits of superintelligence.
The Result: Preservation of traditional ways of life, but likely falling behind in technological and social advancement.
Sci-Fi Archetype: Star Wars
Conclusion
We are heading toward a pivot point. In a future where AGIs may offer wiser, more efficient decision-making, we must ask ourselves what we value more: full or shared control? Societies that insist on strictly human-only governance may find themselves at a disadvantage compared to those that embrace a partnership with AGI.
