“Insect-level” intelligence may be sufficient to create very dangerous AI systems, even if they are not superintelligent. Bostrom does not really talk about this kind of thing, maybe because it’s just not the purpose of the book.
FWIW I think this ‘milestone’ is much less clear than Bostrom makes it sound. I’d imagine there’s a lot of variation in fidelity of simulation, both measured in terms of brain signals and in terms of behaviour, and I’d be surprised if there were some discrete point at which everybody realised that they’d got it right.
Why does the insect ‘milestone’ help to see the future? p68

It is another hazard we should think about.
