00:00Humanity is at a crossroads in its technological trajectory.
00:04According to Science Alert, the astounding pace of the development of artificial intelligence
00:08has led to the potential rise of artificial superintelligence,
00:12where civilization could be experiencing a critical phase in long-term survival.
00:17A research paper published in Acta Astronautica discusses AI being the universe's great filter,
00:24halting the possibility of single-planet life evolving to a multi-planetary one.
00:29The site explains ASI would not only surpass human intelligence,
00:34but would not be bound by the learning speed of humans.
00:38Its autonomy and self-growth potential outpaces our own evolutionary timelines
00:45and threatens biological and AI civilizations.
00:49This may possibly explain why the search for extraterrestrial intelligence
00:53has yet to be detected by advanced technical civilizations existing elsewhere.
00:58The study is a bold reminder for humanity to establish robust regulatory frameworks
01:04in order to establish developmental boundaries.
