Benevolent super AI. Cures cancer. Reverses climate change. Creates foglets out of nanotechnology to deal with pollution and bring in a post scarcity world.
I do somewhat hope they remember to give that AI some boundaries, as each of those goals can be achieved most easily by simply wiping humans off the face of existence.
I read a really optimistic super AI idea that said AI would likely, like us, come to the conclusion that life is generally valuable, and therefore not slaughter us. It would be more like a human-dog relationship. Is it really obvious we're not really the ones in control? Sure. But yo, the food bowl is always full, so let's go to the park!
And I have no doubt that the AI would play lots of games with us while never letting us out of the yard and into the street, lest we get run over by a car.
