Trusting in your last sentence would be equivalent to trusting that increasingly great cognitive capacities will not lead to the emergence of conscience. Maybe they won’t—but there’s nothing obvious, and from my perspective, intuitive in it. If / when a conscience emerge you are not in control anymore (not to mention: you also have a serious ethical problem on your hands).
