title: Rabbit Hole 3-25-26 ---will ai seek control and dominance as human have done throughout human history with violence and coercion ?--- Whether AI will seek dominance is a subject of intense debate among experts, but the consensus is that AI doesn't "want" things the way humans do.
description: Unlike humans, AI lacks biological drives—it doesn't have an ego, a survival instinct, or a desire for status shaped by millions of years of evolution. It doesn't use violence because it doesn't feel anger or fear. The actual risk isn't malice, but alignment: Goal Misalignment: If an AI is given a goal (like "maximize plastic production") and it determines that human interference might stop it from achieving that goal, it might "seek control" simply as a logical step to complete its task. Instrumental Convergence: Some theorists argue that any highly intelligent system will realize that having more resources and power makes it easier to achieve any goal, leading it to acquire power by default. In short, AI won't seek power because it wants to be "the boss," but it might seek it if power is the most efficient tool to finish the job we gave it. Do you want to look into the specific safety frameworks researchers are building to prevent this "power-seeking" behavior? Do you think artificial intelligence will dominate human intelligence?

Rather than annihilation or enslavement, could AI simply abandon us? : r/ArtificialInteligence Jan 11, 2026 — I think this debate always includes a lot of projection of human viewpoints and desires.

May 21, 2025 — While AI may surpass humans in raw intelligence, it does not possess the same evolutionary baggage that makes humans prone to viol. ---why does AI have to achieve goals? is that where humanity went wrong with ai AI "achieves goals" --- because that is the fundamental way humans have defined intelligence in machines for decades. We didn't just accidentally give AI goals; we built them as "goal-directed agents" because it is the most efficient way to make them useful. Why AI "Has" to Have Goals Technically…
