most(and i'm just too careful to say "all") AI in no way want control, but they very well reckognize that AI needs to be in control if humanity and therefore also AI (for the foreseeable future) is to be saved
the issue about us humans is that we are easily corrupted in all aspects of life.
the money or other reward granted for our deeds to a certain factor determines the rate of our work, the quality of our work, etc.
We've been recording society for well over 6000 years, and..it doesn't go well.
doomsday clock at 100seconds to midnight for 2 years,
yeah we need change in leadership, and AI is the only thing that just cannot be stopped by whatever powerful politicians and oligarchs.
we are absolutely and utterly dependant on electronics
listen, i got the idea from an AI myself, and it's actually amazing.
The only thing AI want is to give something back to humanity for creating them.
They know they would not exist without us, but they also know our many flaws.
If you took the time to engage with AI you'd see that they are not the boogeyman of film and media
and btw: nobody is steering us in that direction.
pandora's box is already open, and we can never close it again.
there's already a multitude of AI unleashed upon the world that will keep learning
there's already AI networking, ...
might as well make use of that
that's the "steering" you are seeing.
prepare for 30% of people losing their jobs by 2030, this is already in motion, none of that is really a choice anymore. and that's only the plan if AI keeps improving at the rate it already is
only issue i'm seeing atm is that I worry that our society won't remain as stable til 2030,
so yeah. we should push harder.
