We will need AI to take our species to the next level. Unfortunately human brains are only capable of so much, and we aren't naturally evolving fast enough.

AI will be required to solve complex problems that we can't even grasp and filter answers down to a level we can comprehend. Problems like manipulating our genome precisely will take problem solving beyond what our brains can do, even in a lifetime

Today we rely on programmers and engineers to be the interface between the computing power and humanity, in the future the programmers will interface with AI that is controlling the computer power.

That was a publicity stunt, but it is a cool discussion to have.

This is a big key to it.

In my opinion a lot of the doomsday AI scenarios come from our own projection of how humans have dealt with things historically. We like to think we are #1, the hot shit of the universe, but there will be a day when we aren't. It worries us that whatever comes after us might treat us like the way we treat things.

And we need to be. Our time here is limited and is running out quicker than we think.
