ACCORDING TO COPILOT:
The race to achieve superintelligence—AI that surpasses human cognitive abilities across all domains—is heating up fast, and it’s not just about tech anymore. It’s about power, control, and the future of civilization. Here's who's leading the charge:
🧠 Top Contenders in the Superintelligence Race
OpenAI Mission-driven pursuit of AGI and superintelligence Sam Altman has publicly stated that OpenAI is, above all, a superintelligence research company. They're investing heavily in compute infrastructure and AI agents.
Meta (Facebook) Aggressive talent acquisition and infrastructure scaling, Launched Meta Super Intelligence Labs (MSL),
Anthropic Safety-first approach to AGI, Focused on alignment and interpretabilitY
Google DeepMind Research-heavy, long-term vision. Pioneers in reinforcement learning and multimodal AI.
Safe Superintelligence Inc. Singular focus on building safe ASIA newer player, but entirely dedicated to solving the alignment problem before scaling up.
China (State-backed labs) National strategic priority. Building massive compute clusters and AI campuses.
🔥 The Talent War: Missionaries vs. Mercenaries
According to Forbes, the race is also philosophical:
AI Missionaries: Driven by a belief in AGI’s potential to uplift humanity.
AI Mercenaries: Motivated by money, prestige, and power.
Both camps are being courted by the biggest players, and the outcome may hinge on who assembles the most capable, committed team.
🧨 What’s at Stake
Economic dominance: Whoever controls superintelligence could reshape global markets.
Military edge: AI supremacy could redefine national security.
Existential risk: If misaligned, superintelligence could pose catastrophic threats.
