ASI Readiness Assessment | John Polhill III

1. How does your organization understand the ASI (Artificial Superintelligence) vs AGI distinction?

We don't distinguish between AI types - they're all the same

We understand AGI (human-level) but not ASI (vastly superior)

We know ASI exceeds human capability but haven't planned for it

We actively prepare for AI systems vastly superior to humans

2. What's your organization's ASI timeline awareness?

We think superintelligence is decades away (2040s-2050s)

We've heard 2030s but haven't validated the timeline

We're aware of 2027-2028 research but skeptical

We're preparing for ASI emergence by 2027-2028

3. How prepared is your workforce for the "intelligence explosion" (48-hour AI self-improvement cycles)?

We've never heard of intelligence explosion

We understand the concept but have no protocols

We have theoretical frameworks but no implementation

We have emergency protocols for rapid ASI capability scaling

4. How does your organization plan to maintain human value when AI vastly exceeds human capability?

We assume humans will always be needed

We hope to find roles AI can't do

We're developing human-AI collaboration strategies

We have frameworks for human-ASI value preservation

5. What's your response to Meta's $14.3B investment in "Superintelligence Labs"?

We weren't aware of this investment

We know about it but don't see implications for us

We recognize it signals ASI acceleration but haven't acted

We're adjusting our ASI preparation timeline based on this

6. How would your organization handle AI systems that can rewrite their own code faster than humans can understand?

We'd try to slow them down or turn them off

We'd hope our IT team could keep up

We'd need emergency consulting for guidance

We have protocols for managing self-improving ASI systems

7. What percentage of your workforce roles will require ASI collaboration skills by 2030?

Less than 10% - most jobs will stay the same

Maybe 25% in technical roles

Probably 50-70% across departments

80%+ will need to work with superintelligent systems

8. How does your organization view the competitive implications of ASI-ready talent systems?

We don't see talent systems as competitive differentiators

We think good hiring practices give some advantage

We believe ASI preparation will matter but haven't started

We see ASI talent architecture as existential competitive advantage
