*AI* – Artificial Intelligence – an alternate form of non-human intelligence
*AGI* – Artificial General Intelligence – AI that is as capable as as majority of humans at a majority of things. (eta 2024-2030)
*ASI* – Artificial Super Intelligence – AI that is exponentially more capable than all humans combined, at all things. (eta 2028-2035)
An AI-ready company sees AI through today’s familiar lens. For them, AI is a new technology that offers ways to boost business—whether it’s increasing profits, improving productivity, or reducing costs.
In this view, AI is an opportunity to improve what the company already does. It’s seen as the latest skill for employees to learn and a smart tool for keeping up with market demands. This approach treats AI as a useful upgrade, something that can make things better but doesn’t fundamentally change how things work.
An AGI/ASI-ready company, however, sees a shift in consciousness itself as central to this new era. For them, AGI is not just another tool but a profound moment in human history. The arrival of AGI signals the potential for a deep transformation, one that could redefine human experience, reshape how we relate to each other, and even change our understanding of purpose.
The AGI-ready company understands that this shift is bigger than profits—it touches on our shared humanity and challenges us to think about our role in a world where humans and advanced intelligence coexist.
Instead of focusing on short-term gains, an AGI-ready company considers how it can contribute to humanity’s growth in consciousness and well-being. They recognize the need for new values, ethics, and adaptability to responsibly navigate this transition. This kind of company isn’t just preparing to make profits with AGI but is positioning itself to support and help lead a new chapter in human evolution.
With a focus on collective good, an AGI-ready company seeks to be a steward for thoughtful progress, co-evolving with this emerging intelligence to create a future that honors both human potential and the unique contribution AGI can bring.
