The Act does not address AI misuse by malicious actors or the alignment of AI with human values, especially considering that digital intelligence now surpasses human capabilities and is not yet fully understood by the ones that created it. The development of AI underwent a significant acceleration in 2017 with the discovery of "Transformers", a new class of machine learning algorithms. These algorithms now form the foundation of all current (as of mid-2023) Generative Multimodal Large Language Models. The advancements in AI, particularly in models like GPT-4, have brought the development of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) much closer to reality. Most experts predict AGI will be achieved in the coming years from a cognitive standpoint, with fully embodied AGI systems able to interact with the environment like humans by 2030. In the context of growing geopolitical tensions and the risks of armed conflict between the US and its allies on the one hand and China and its allies on the other over issues such as Ukraine, Taiwan, and the South China Sea, this paper highlights the importance for the EU as a bloc to define its desired level of strategic autonomy in AGI relative to its allies. Additionally, this paper discusses the measures the EU could consider taking in cooperation with them to stay ahead of China and Russia on AGI development. Finally, it suggests creating a Democratic Technology Alliance to optimally coordinate all those policy questions among allied democracies. "As a technologist, I see how AI and the fourth industrial revolution will impact every aspect of people's lives."
