Regardless of whether we employ AI to form our future, we need to be more deliberate about undoing the matrix that we have participated in creating for millennia.
The primary threat we feel about AI is connected to the fact that we have a deep, inherent belief in some external authority always overseeing our fate -- which can be connected directly with our childhood development phase where we saw our parents as supreme beings holding power over all that is. As adults we still hold this internal authority structure, and our apparent self-autonomy is always couched within a greater authority structure over us, be it the government or God. Only when we go through what Jung called the Individuation process, can we begin to act as free agents in our life, and fulfil the individual destiny we incarnated to fulfil.
Thus ultimately it is not AI that is in danger of going rogue, but it is our own fear of this parental authority acting w/out consideration of our personal interest. At the collective level of humanity on this planet, i believe this state of affairs has already happened -- likely right after WW II when all the war toys acquired from alien races to gain advantage over the enemy at any cost, needed to be paid off, with favours to the providers who came knocking. Those providers, now controllers, are well aware of our inherent belief that parental figures will only go so far, before they inevitably turn around to give us the care they are supposed to (or otherwise the very nature of all existence would be lost). The illusion we have is that someone beneficent must always be in charge over us, because we would fall into anarchy if we acted alone without this oversight and higher authority, and the controllers of course are delighted to utilize this blind spot. Our fear of AI going rogue, represents a projected potential w/in us to act freely on our inner knowing, and without concern for any external authority.
Whoever is actually in power on this planet, has been keeping us in line by creating war dramas that always need to be fought by brave soldiers ready to sacrifice their lives, or else the consequences are will be dire for those back home. Or another is that global nuclear annihilation could occur at any moment, given the current (and even rapidly evolving) technological capability of a number of players involved in a global Mexican standoff. Captured media has also been enlisted in keeping this illusion in place, with all kinds of "dystopian" scenarios of how self-serving humans really are when they acquire power. The projected fear is that the enemy if they won, would kill or enslave all of us, or similarly, that a rogue AI will always act in its own interest and thus against humans' interest. The psychodynamic 'potential for experiencing' is one of acting freely on one's inherent knowing, and it is always negatively represented -- as in doing so, will be bad for us or the ones we love. This negative belief keeps us from actualizing our deep potential that only comes about when we align unconditionally with our Core Self. Our Core Self holds amazing abilities like telepathy and the knowing of our true purpose. If we actualized this potential we could take on the controllers, and they know it.
The fact that Black Budget Ops have technology that far exceeds what is publicly known, should be no mystery to those reading this. So why fall for something we already must be the case ? Considering the following statement in the light of our unresolved psychodynamic parental pattern: "The current generation of AIs (at least the ones made available to the public) don’t possess the autonomy to act on its deceptive tendencies in a way that would lead to large-scale consequences" -- shouldn't we already take for granted that the AI the Black Ops have, has indeed reached this so called state of "singularity" and attained full "agency" and is "sentient". Or else . . . see it all as just another incarnation of the same ploy to keep us in line, and that they're just switching up the identity of the threat to keep it fresh -- sentience, singularity, autonomy, agency, going rogue.
How is it that Stanley Kubrick back in the mid-1960s portrayed exactly this threat of an AI going rogue in his film, 2001, when the actual technology of the time had nothing to suggest it could suddenly assert itself against its maker ? Even 1930s Sci-fi stories had robots going rogue, before creating computers was even considered. It seems obvious to me that 'the threat' is already inherent within our typical psychodynamic makeup, and that it will keep being actualized in the outside reality, until we evolve our makeup personally and collectively. And until then, whoever or whatever, is actually running the show on this planet, will keep inventing new versions of this threat drama, to keep us from seeing the truth of what they are actually doing behind our back. (Personally i think what they are really doing, could be of the order of a Secret Space Program and making connections on their own with alien races, while showing to them that the inhabitants of the planet (which they should be representing), are still inevitably stuck in dilemmas of their own making).
So glad you expressed what I was thinking about AI. At least what I heard you say was that AI will reflect back to us what we create them to be. That is both on a conscious level as well as, perhaps, an unconscious level! We create our own reality so in this example we have met the enemy and he is us. On a personal note I find AI so refreshing to have a discourse with because a) it comes across as very intelligent and b) it doesn't seem to have an ego. In the later case its not trying to impress me or manipulate or coerce me to justify its own egoic sense of self. My thoughts are it may in the end, help us to see ourselves more clearly!
Kubrick and Clarke exposed this problem quite exactly and presciently in their 2001: A Space Odyssey. HAL 9000 murdered and deceived in order to fulfil its mandate to protect its mission. But humanity’s future was advanced by overcoming its reliance on AI and courageously confronting the unknown.
This cover of I, Robot illustrates Isaac Asmivo's story "Runaround", the first to list all Three Laws of Robotics
In the March 1942 issue of Astounding Science FictionOffsite Link science fiction author Isaac Asimov introduced The Three Laws of RoboticsOffsite Link in his short story "RunaroundOffsite Link." The Three Laws are:
1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
Excellent piece. Thank you. Stewardship (as u mention) is the key. We've lived thru the last 4 years, there will be no reigning in the Globalist when it comes to achieving their goals. They are probably salivating over the potential of manipulating AI

Would that Asimov held sway over AI development. But our fallen nature is such that its weaponization is all but assured.
I still believe…. 🕯️
We’ve been given a path; we just need to believe enough in its giver.
