Description
Jacob Zilberman sets out a theory of social AGI in a 2026 article. The AI industry is racing toward general intelligence that matches or beats human thinking, but a purely computing mind may still fail to grasp human social life. Zilberman argues such a system must grow an inner social sense: it should learn norms the way people do, not just follow rules set from outside.
He describes a staged path in which surface social behavior slowly deepens into real social understanding. Human society changes in the same process, growing used to the systems and granting them more freedom over time. He calls this two-way shaping co-formation, and sets it apart from merely living side by side or trading influences. The article offers the theory as the base for later practical work.
