⚠️ AGI Users vs. Non-Users: A New Division of Humanity

— When access to intelligence becomes a new axis of inequality

As AGI becomes widespread, humanity may split in a new and fundamental way:

• Those who actively use AGI to enhance their thinking, decisions, and productivity

• And those who do not—or cannot—access or utilize AGI

This isn’t just about technology adoption. It represents a deeper divergence in how people live, think, and compete in society.

Category	AGI Users	Non-Users
Information Handling	Fast, strategic, AI-augmented	Slow, human-reliant
Competitiveness	Continuously optimized	At risk of obsolescence
Social Role	High-efficiency sectors	Traditional labor or support roles
Learning Method	Prompt-based exploration	Self-guided discovery
Risks	Dependency, loss of critical thought	Exclusion, limited access to opportunity

🔍 The Risks of a Divided Society

1. Widening Knowledge Gaps
   AGI users learn faster and access deeper insights, while non-users fall behind. → This creates a severe asymmetry in education and opportunity.

2. Cultural and Value Misalignment
   Users may prioritize speed and optimization; non-users may value tradition or human touch. Conflict in priorities and worldviews will grow.

3. Economic and Political Imbalance
   AGI users can automate wealth creation and decision-making, concentrating influence into a new techno-elite class.

When intelligence is unevenly distributed—not by genetics, but by tools—a new form of inequality emerges.

🔧 Bridging the Divide: What We Must Do

1. Ensure Universal Digital Literacy
   Everyone should be taught how to use AGI critically and ethically, not just technically. Schools and public services must take the lead.

2. Respect Non-User Roles and Values
   We must protect spaces for creativity, care work, intuition, and tradition—domains where AGI should not replace humans.

3. Guarantee Public Access to AGI Tools
   Open-source models, public infrastructure, and affordable access are key to preventing an AGI caste system.

4. Foster Mutual Responsibility
   AGI users must recognize their growing influence and actively include diverse perspectives in decision-making.

🌍 Conclusion: Intelligence Is a Right, Not a Privilege

We must never allow a world where the ability to think critically or act decisively is reserved for a technological elite.

"Whether one uses AGI or not should never define their value as a human being."

Instead of division, we must pursue balance, inclusion, and respect across this new boundary.

"AGI should not divide humanity—it should challenge us to redefine what it means to be human, together."
