I hear of many projected benefits of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). But most deal with solving big problems for humanity. Helping national security, helping defeat cancer and other horrible terminal diseases, helping ensure food, transportation, the economy are all optimized are all noble reasons to pursue AGI as fast as possible.

But there are other reasons to pursue AGI. I am especially excited about what AGI can do for me as an individual. Personal Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is coming.

I want a personal AGI. One that will do things for me. And I want it now.

The reason I want it now is to help me survive and thrive in the coming age of extremely powerful and ubiquitous technologies. I need AGI to help me make the most of the powerful technologies at my disposal while preventing adversaries from taking advantage of me with advanced tech. This need is so important and so urgent I believe we should all be pushing for this type of capability.

AGI, unlike narrow AI, possesses the ability to understand, learn, and apply knowledge across a wide range of tasks at a level comparable to human intelligence. There is no AGI available today, but LLMs like Altzero.ai (MattGPT) and the OODA ai available to our network members are giving hints of what will soon be possible with a personal AGI.

To help accelerate AGI development we should all be thinking through what we want these tools to do for us. I have built a prioritized list of what I will be tasking my personal AGI with when I get it. I list them below to help you contemplate your list of personal AGI requirements:

Financial Management

I will have my AGI monitor my investment portfolios, analyze financial markets, track expenses, and create budgets. Its continuous oversight and analytical capabilities will enable more accurate financial planning and timely adjustments, optimizing returns and financial health more effectively than I could with periodic manual reviews. This ensures my financial decisions are always based on the latest data and trends, maximizing my financial stability and growth.

Cybersecurity

My AGI will continuously monitor my digital environment for anomalies, apply patches, and update threat intelligence to protect my information and resources in real-time. Its 24/7 vigilance and advanced analytics capabilities will ensure a more comprehensive and faster response to threats than I could manage, minimizing risks and downtime.

Digital Brain

My AGI will function as my digital brain, storing and organizing a full repository of useful information from my notes, writings, books read, and other sources. It will be able to recall and analyze this information quickly, helping me make informed decisions and enhancing my productivity. By having a continuous and comprehensive knowledge base, I will be able to leverage my accumulated knowledge more effectively.

Personal Development and Learning

I will task my AGI with curating personalized learning plans, recommending courses and books, and tracking my progress. By continuously analyzing my interests and career goals, it will provide targeted and up-to-date learning resources, making skill development more efficient and aligned with my objectives than a self-directed approach. This allows me to stay ahead in my field and continually improve my knowledge base.

Personal Assistant Functions

My AGI will manage my calendar, schedule meetings, set reminders, and handle routine email communications, prioritizing tasks based on deadlines and importance. It will also analyze personal data to help me make informed decisions regarding health, fitness, and other personal goals. Additionally, it will plan and book my travel arrangements, including flights, accommodations, and activities, while providing real-time updates and itinerary management. Its continuous and meticulous attention to detail will ensure no appointment is missed, communications are always timely and accurate, and my travel experiences are seamless and cost-effective, freeing me to focus on more strategic activities.

Art and Entertainment Assistance

My AGI will curate personalized recommendations for movies, music, books, and other forms of entertainment based on my preferences and mood. It can also generate creative content, such as personalized playlists, art pieces, and storylines, for my enjoyment. Additionally, it will keep track of entertainment trends and suggest new activities or hobbies for me to explore. By continuously adapting to my tastes and providing diverse entertainment options, my AGI will enhance my leisure time, offering relaxation and pleasure tailored to my unique interests.

Content Creation and Management

I will have my AGI generate blog posts, social media content, and marketing materials, as well as assist in drafting and editing documents. It can optimize SEO and manage digital marketing campaigns continuously, ensuring consistent and high-quality output that maximizes engagement and effectiveness without the need for my constant oversight.

Home Automation and Management

My AGI will control my smart home devices, manage energy usage, and automate household tasks like grocery ordering. Its continuous management will ensure an optimized and efficient home environment, reducing energy costs and streamlining daily chores, offering a level of convenience and efficiency that would be difficult for me to achieve manually.
