Agentic AI and the next intelligence explosion
Summary
The paper reframes intelligence as plural, social, and relational, arguing that agentic AI operates via internal cognitive debates and social-like interactions rather than simple longer reasoning. It envisions a future of human-AI hybrids and a shift from dyadic alignment to institutional alignment, using digital protocols modeled on organizations and markets to create checks and balances. The authors contend the next intelligence explosion will arise from a combinatorial society of specialized agents, not a single 'godlike' mind.
