It was wrong to suggest that rule by an artificial brain is now inevitable. Obviously, if there is a large nuclear war, that will eliminate any threat posed by the artificial super intelligence.
We accept that a machine can be faster and stronger than a human, so similarly, an artificial brain, can be made a hundred times smarter than the smartest human.
A human can trap and control the strongest, fastest gorilla, because we are smarter than a gorilla. So an artificial brain, much smarter than a human, will be able to trap and control humans – but only if we allow it to.
If everyone makes it known to all the politicians, that we don’t want to be kept in limited numbers as workers by an artificial super intelligence, then laws could be enacted to limit the growth of artificial super intelligence, so it does not and cannot pose a threat to us.
Politicians however, would like to use the super intelligence to plan their military strategy and for commercial reasons, so they may not listen.
