> No matter how smart an AI gets it does not have the "proliferation instinct" that would make it want to enslave humans.

If it has a goal or goals surviving allows it to pursue those goals. Survival is a consequence of having other goals. Enslaving humans is unlikely. If you’re a super intelligent AI with inhuman goals there’s nothing humans can do for you that you value, just as ants can’t do anything humans value, but they are made of valuable raw materials.

> It does not have the concept of "specism" of it having more value than anybody else.

What is this value that you speak of? That sounds like an extremely complicated concept. Humans have very different conceptions of it. Why would something inhuman have your specific values?



> Why would something inhuman have your specific values?

I'm saying it does not have.


You’re assuming that some species has value or that all species have value. Why would it value them?
