ASI Alliance Can Rebuild Google’s Secret Quantum Circuit, CEO Ben Goertzel Says
Ben Goertzel, CEO of the ASI Alliance, claims his team can recreate Google’s quantum circuit for breaking encryption, warning that other actors likely can as well.Summary
Dr. Ben Goertzel of the Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) Alliance asserts his team can replicate the quantum attack circuits developed by Google Quantum AI but kept unpublished. He believes this capability is readily achievable by well-resourced entities like nation-states, rendering secrecy ineffective. Google’s decision to withhold the code, framed as responsible disclosure, is seen by Goertzel as functionally irrelevant. He highlights the potential for a 41% attack rate on Bitcoin, where attackers could crack transactions during the confirmation window, impacting roughly 6.9 million BTC. Goertzel criticizes the idea of governments gaining legal authority to crack dormant wallets, arguing it would set a dangerous precedent for digital property rights. The ASI Alliance is positioning itself as prepared for this convergence of quantum computing and AGI, developing a quantum-oriented blockchain, ASI:Chain, with a modular encryption layer. Industry leaders like CZ and Chamath Palihapitiya have also weighed in, emphasizing the need for a coordinated upgrade to quantum-resistant algorithms.
