Analysis

CryptoMichNL hosted Ben Goertzel, the creator of the term AGI, on his podcast to discuss how human-level AI could overtake economic activity within two years and trigger mass job displacement before any safety nets emerge. Goertzel stressed that the interim period leaves workers exposed while centralized AI concentrates power, pushing blockchain as the key tool to distribute control and avoid tech-giant dominance. The episode covers self-improving machines, UBI necessity and the AI industry impact on global labor markets.
