This could stop near-superintelligent AI from causing "catastrophic damage," according to Ethereum's Buterin
, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin proposed potentially reducing the available computing power by up to 99% over the next few years to give humanity a few years to prepare for the singularity. This could be achieved with the help of location verification and hardware registration.
In addition, Buterin has suggested equipping industrial-scale hardware with a chip that would require authorization for the device to remain operational.

He argues that merely having the ability to dramatically reduce worldwide computing power if necessary would not adversely affect developers. This could determine if a runaway superintelligent AI ends up winning or losing against humanity, according to Buterin. As reported by U.Today, Buterin recently proposed addressing some specific threats posed by artificial general intelligence such as seizing control over physical infrastructure or manipulating humans with misinformation. This comes amid growing speculation about the singularity being potentially achieved in the near future. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman hinted at such a possibility in his recent social media post.
