AGI will be the biggest, and likely the last, technological prowess of humanity. At this point, the most important focus of the world should be on ensuring that the transition to AGI happens smoothly. This endeavor can be divided into 3 actionable categories: ensuring pre-AGI

With this perspective, here is the list of technologies that are worth working on at this moment: 1. Pre-AGI Survival - Climate: Prevent climate change-led extinction. Arguably secondary as the climate change timelines are so long compared to AGI. - Defense: Prevent WW3.
