Yes, we often think about what would happen if we applied this system to humans, more specifically uploaded humans (aka brain emulations, aka EMs). This seems like a useful intuition pump.
We think control would likely be workable for uploaded humans which run considerably faster and cheaper than normal humans (e.g. 30x faster and much cheaper).
The main difference with the human case is that you can’t necessarily depend on training the system.
We typically imagine “humans uploads, but you can train them (with SGD)”. (Control can probably still work (up to the point where we catch the AI) without the ability to train in the literal human case, but a bunch of considerations come up which which likely don’t apply to AIs.)
