Artificial superintelligence is coming: salvation or threat?
Tech giants like Meta, Google, and OpenAI are building massive data centers to develop artificial intelligence capable of surpassing humans.
Artificial intelligence is developing increasingly better updates to its systems. Powerful companies in the technology world such as Meta, Google, and OpenAI are working on creating an artificial superintelligence that surpasses any human being. Will this be a salvation or a threat to society?
According to Der Spiegel magazine, this technology is already helping to optimize tasks in both personal and professional settings. It even contributes to the medical sector, helping to find treatments for various diseases. However, these advances also pose a problem: what would happen if an AI becomes smarter than any human mind?
If you want to learn more about this fascinating technological evolution and its possible consequences, don’t miss the new episode of MarketingDirecto.com – MKD, where we delve into the advances in AI and debate whether we are facing a promising revolution or the beginning of a new threat.
A gigantic project in Louisiana
In Richland Parish, a county in Louisiana, something gigantic is being built. What was once a peaceful setting has become the site of a monumental project. Meta, Mark Zuckerberg’s company, is building its largest data center in the world there. The investment exceeds $10 billion, and when completed, it will occupy the size of one-sixth of Manhattan.
What is the goal? To fuel the development of an artificial superintelligence, a system that not only solves specific tasks like playing chess or translating languages, but also thinks and acts better than any person in almost everything.
An artificial intelligence that helps society without limits
The creators of this artificial superintelligence, or «supermachine,» believe it can offer great benefits to society by finding solutions to complex human problems. One of Zuckerberg’s goals is to implement a «superintelligent assistant» for every person, who can help with daily life.
However, not everyone agrees. Geoffrey Hinton, one of the pioneers of artificial intelligence, warns that these technologies could become an «existential risk.» According to him, if such a superintelligence is developed and achieves the expected success, it could overwhelm the human mind.
Struggling to Distinguish Real from Fiction
Although systems like ChatGPT and GPT-5 are impressive, they still make basic errors. However, big tech companies are confident that by increasing the size of their models and data centers, these flaws will disappear.
The process of creating something truly great is already underway. Meta, Google, OpenAI, and even Chinese companies like DeepSeek are investing millions to keep up and be the first to introduce revolutionary innovations. For some, this superintelligence will be a great ally; for others, it could become a threat to society.
