Humans misuse power. It doesn’t seem to have occurred to you that humans with power frequently become corrupt. So, you want to emulate humans, in order to avoid corruption, when we know that power corrupts humans? Our brain structures have evolved for how many millions of years, all the while natural selection has been favoring those most efficient at obtaining and exploiting power whenever it has provided a reproduction advantage? I think we’re better off with something man-made, not something that’s optimized to do that! Downvote
Also, there is a point at which an intelligent enough person is unable to communicate meaningfully with others, let alone a super intelligent machine. There comes a point where your conceptual frameworks are so complex that nothing you say will be interpreted correctly without a huge amount of explanation, which your target audience does not have the attention span for. This happens on the human level, with IQ gaps of above 45 IQ points (ratio tests). Look up something called the “optimal IQ range”. Want some evidence? Why do the presidents that we vote in have IQ’s so (relatively) near to average when it would theoretically make more sense to vote in Einsteins with IQ’s of 160? It’s because Einsteins are too complicated. Most people don’t have the stamina to do all the thinking required to understand all of their ideas enough to determine whether a political Einstein would be the better choice. The same problem will happen with AI. People won’t understand an AI that smart because they won’t be able to review it’s reasoning. That means they won’t trust it, are incapable of agreeing with it and therefore would not be likely to want to be led by it.
Brain emulation will do nothing to ensure any of the benefits you hope for.
