Don't Fear the Super AI
Let me put it this way: I'm not worried about invisible people teleporting into my bedroom, so you shouldn't be worried about an all-powerful Super AI. This topic is a strange one, as the reason to write about it is to tell you that it doesn't merit writing about. The discussion about Super AI is about as important as discussions like "what should we do when teleportation is readily available to everyone?" or "how can we pair the right to privacy with the right become invisible?" As a matter of fact, talking about the mere concept of a Super AI is more harmful than you might think because it gives the impression that "AI" already has a solid foundation and the risks are looming large. The idea of a Super AI is a fantasy extrapolated from science by Hollywood in the same way that teleportation and invisibility science fiction is conjured out of tidbits of science fact.
