At #FTC2024, Steven Pemberston posed one of the most unsettling questions in AI research: Why should a superintelligence be friendly to humans? 🤖

Drawing parallels from how societies treat lesser intelligences—whether useful, inconvenient, or ignored—the talk highlighted a critical reality: friendliness and ethics are not inherent in intelligence; they must be deliberately designed and enforced.
As AI systems grow more powerful, the real challenge lies not just in creating intelligence, but in ensuring alignment, responsibility, and long-term safety.
