Everyone is talking about artificial intelligence, and some of the brightest minds of our generation are working to achieve artificial general intelligence — an AI system on par with human intelligence. What we are utterly neglecting is our own inherent human intelligence.
We humans live up to perhaps 5% (10% at most) of our full potential. A select few (≈0.000001%) live up to more than that, but the majority of the 8 billion people are content with the minimum that society and technology allow them to get by with.
We possess more genius, more creativity, and more intellect within ourselves than we currently make use of. Much more.
Besides developing AGI, we should be seriously concerned and ask ourselves how we can raise human intelligence, human creativity, and human consciousness.
Humanity can be so much more – let us realize our full potential.
