From AGI to ASI: Mapping the Societal and Systemic Impact of Superintelligence

Track: Track 2: Socio-Economical and Future Visions

Keywords: superintelligence, systemic effects

Abstract: We examine the implications of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and its potential transition to Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) across economics, law, health, education, and belief systems. Treating advanced AI as a systemic force, we synthesize domain-specific disruptions and emphasize cross-domain feedback loops that can amplify both benefits and risk. We discuss impacts for developing nations and present compact dynamical-systems sketches illustrating cascades and recovery in fragile socio-technical infrastructures. We conclude with governance priorities for navigating rapid capability gains and dependency risks.
