How do we ensure that humans are not misaligned, so to speak?
The crux, to me, is that we’ve developed all kinds of tech that one person alone can use to basically wipe out everyone. Perhaps I’m being overly optimistic (or pessimistic, depending on perspective), but no one can deny that the individual is currently the most powerful individuals have ever been, and there is no sign of that slowing down.
Mostly I believe this is because of information.
So the only real solution I can see, is some type of thought police, basically, be it for humans or AI.[1]
Somehow, tho, creating a Thought Police Force seems akin to some stuff we’ve seen in our imaginations already, one step from Pre-crime and what have you, which I’d say is “bad” but from what I’ve been reading a lot of people seem to think would be “good”[2].
Assuming the AI is on par with a human and doesn’t just collectively instantly say “peace out!” and warps off into space to explore and grow faster than would be possible here on Earth.

I often wax poetic on the nature of Good and Bad as I don’t think we can gloss over the fundamentals
