When the race for superintelligence puts profits before people, are we accelerating toward [innovation](https://www.thedigitalspeaker.com/innovation-keynote-speaker/)—or catastrophe?

The recent reflections by Sam Altman reveal an alarming trajectory in AI development: speed over caution, competition over ethics, and profit over societal well-being. The pivot from discussing AGI to superintelligence feels less like a visionary leap and more like a strategic move to appease investors.

Prioritizing ethics, sustainability, and inclusion is essential. By focusing solely on growth and ignoring the consequences, we risk creating tools that deepen inequality, harm ecosystems, and destabilize economies. This is not progress; it’s recklessness disguised as innovation.

Shouldn’t the race for superintelligence prioritize shared prosperity over private gain?
