davidad: fighting for human dominance into the 2030s is a fool's errand

AI safety researcher davidad argues that human agency is good for humans, but "fighting for human leadership into the 2030s is a fool's errand." In his view, expanding human agency is very likely possible — yet the only sustainable routes he can foresee involve giving up human dominance. He follows up: "losing," if what's lost is human dominance, is probably on the critical path to winning. A provocative take on AI governance: rather than clinging to control, design sustainable frameworks where humans and AI coexist with expanded individual agency.
