About this listen

AI to AGI to ASI is a forward-looking podcast that explores humanity’s most transformative technological journey — from today’s artificial intelligence to the emergence of artificial general intelligence, and eventually, the era of artificial superintelligence.

Each episode dives into the full spectrum of implications:

🔧 Technical

  • Breakdowns of AI/ML architectures, alignment challenges, agentic systems, and breakthroughs leading toward AGI.
  • How compute, scaling laws, robotics, and self-improving systems shape the trajectory.

🏛️ Political & Geopolitical

  • How nations compete and collaborate in the AI race.
  • Global governance, regulation, treaties, national security, and the shifting balance of power in an AI-dominated world.

💰 Economic

  • The futures of work, productivity revolutions, job displacement, UBI debates, and trillion-dollar AI economies.
  • How AGI might reshape markets, ownership, and wealth concentration.

🧠 Human & Social

  • How AI changes identity, meaning, purpose, creativity, and relationships.
  • Psychological Impacts, Digital Companions, and the Future of Childhood and Education.

🌍 Environmental

  • Compute energy demands, ecological impact, green AI models, and how ASI could help (or hinder) planetary sustainability.

⚖️ Ethical & Existential

  • Alignment and safety.
  • The distinction between helpful superintelligence and catastrophic misalignment.
  • What it means to coexist with entities smarter than ourselves.

🌐 Cultural & Civilizational

  • How different cultures interpret AGI.
  • The future role of humans in a world of increasingly autonomous AI agents.

This podcast doesn’t sensationalise — it illuminates.

It examines the opportunities, risks, philosophies, and realities of a future defined by intelligence beyond our own, helping listeners understand not just what is coming, but what it means for all of us.

  • AI, Geopolitical Power, and the New Architecture of Global Connectivity
    Nov 28 2025

    Humanity is standing at the edge of a technological shift more profound than the arrival of the internet, the smartphone, or even electricity. Artificial Intelligence (AI) — specifically generative AI and large-scale foundation models — is transforming into the central infrastructure of global power. Intelligence itself, once scarce and biologically bound, is becoming industrialised, abundant, and infinitely scalable.

  • Artifical Intelligence & Beyond: Understanding the Human Journey Ahead
    Nov 22 2025

    Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer a concept reserved for science fiction. It lives in our phones, our workplaces, our homes, and increasingly, our decisions. As we move toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and possibly Artificial Superintelligence (ASI), society finds itself at a defining moment.

    This white paper explores the human-centered themes introduced in the first episode of the podcast AI → AGI → ASI. It examines:

    • How AI affects daily life
    • The balance between benefits and risks
    • Emerging social and ethical considerations
    • Why a nuanced, lightly humorous discussion helps make sense of it all

    This foundation ensures listeners — and readers — understand not only what AI is becoming, but why it matters for humanity.
