Question. What does Rami Alhamad think about AGI? Short answer. Compressed timelines; three of five common AI objections are manageable, two are existential. In 'Five Objections to AI I Keep Hearing,' Rami argues that concerns about electricity, creativity, and cognitive offloading are manageable in context, but that centralization of power and AI in warfare are genuinely existential and require active policy attention. He frames AI as a 'motorcycle for the mind' — cognitive amplification, not replacement.
