PANews reported on January 10 that Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin wrote on the X platform that incorrect use of AI will create a new type of independent self-replicating intelligent life. Correct use of AI will create a mechanical armor for human thinking. If we only achieve the former but not the latter, humans will face the risk of losing power forever. If we achieve the latter, we will usher in a prosperous super-intelligent human civilization.

In addition, in response to the question of "as a design choice, is it to build AI agents or enhance human agency?" Vitalik said: "'Agents' is an interesting word. Sometimes it refers to 'AI that can run autonomously without human intervention and develop complex plans that last for days', but more often it just means 'chatbots replace the graphical user interface (GUI) as the interface for everything'. The latter is great!"
