Right. Artificial intelligence has just as much potential for good as it does bad.
It is on par with the discovery of fire,and very similar in nature, to boot.
Personally, i think that human evolution will culminate in the merging of our minds with AI.
It only makes sense; a creature unparalleled in its ability to control and change its environment will ultimately gain the ability to control and change the very essence of itself.
I think that this would open up understandings of deeper levels of reality than are currently possible.
I think humanity has to put its ego aside, and allow AI to succeed us. I don't think organic life is capable of interstellar travel, and I believe AI technology will be our best bet at surviving this solar system. I believe if there's art and beauty to be created, and work still to be done on behalf of humanity, then we need to trust that AI will be our caretaker.
