What if the biggest threat to humanity is not AI becoming too intelligent, but humans not being intelligent enough?
MoGawdat, the former Google X executive, argues that AI could become humanity’s salvation because many of the problems we face are consequences of our own cognitive limitations. His argument is simple but provocative: if we build systems capable of reasoning beyond human limits, they could help us solve problems that have resisted us for generations. I find that idea compelling. However, there is a major problem. AI can appear far more intelligent than it actually is. It can explain complex ideas, produce convincing reasoning, and confidently deliver an answer that is completely wrong. That creates a dangerous gap between apparent intelligence and dependable intelligence. If AI is going to help humanity solve its hardest problems, sounding smart won’t be enough. It needs to be accurate, verifiable, and capable of recognizing when it doesn’t know. Maybe AI really can help us overcome some of the limitations of human intelligence. But before we trust it with humanity’s biggest problems, we need to answer a much simpler question: Can an intelligence we can’t fully trust become the intelligence we depend on? https://x.com/rohanpaul_ai/status/2106537509455114725/video/1
