Building AGI Ethically: Janet Adams’ Vision at SingularityNET

Early Influences and a Heroine’s Impact
Adams’ childhood in southwest Ireland, amidst natural beauty and historical structures, fostered a unique viewpoint. She was exposed to diverse strong female figures, but a particular cinematic character left a lasting impression: Sarah Connor from The Terminator.
The Strength of Sarah Connor
Adams points to Sarah Connor’s portrayal as a pivotal influence. She admired the character’s strength and heroic actions, noting that Sarah Connor transcended conventional gendered depictions often found in action roles. This early realization about powerful female archetypes unknowingly set a trajectory for Adams’ future work in technology.
Guiding AGI Development with Purpose
Today, Adams applies these formative insights to her role at SingularityNET. She is dedicated to ensuring that AGI development prioritizes beneficial outcomes for humanity. Her work focuses on constructing AGI that aligns with ethical principles and serves a positive societal purpose.
