Well, couldn't we prevent this if scientists somehow figured out how to upgrade the consciousness by implementing the computing within the AI into our own brains. Also, wouldn't our intelligence be able to evolve with genetic enhancement as well as implementing AI into ourselves through augmentation.

We're pretty far from adding electronic computing power to our brains. Any science dealing with that stuff is purely theoretical.

People are scared of making ai too smart. It makes sense that a computer thousands of times smarter than a human could eventually break through the barriers we put up and do... Who knows what.

The final season of Silicon Valley is an excellent portrayal of what might go wrong

You can have the same effect without direct wiring into the brain. You just need an AI that always wants to “check in” to make sure it’s aligned with human goals and values. There’s a good discussion of that in this book. It’s more game theory added on top of neural networks than biotech (but it probably will be the basis for more direct wiring once we have a better idea of how the human brain works).

(Also, no “consciousness” would be involved, because nobody is even trying for that.)
