This article mistakenly conflates enhanced human intelligence with an increase in AI safety.<p>While it is possible, it could just as well be that more intelligent humans may actually diminish AI safety via way of rapid progress in certain branches of research.<p>Higher levels of intelligence do not necessarily mean appreciation for adequate safety measures. There&#x27;s a lot of very, very intelligent AI researchers right now that think nothing of AGI risk, or otherwise lump it into the &quot;it will evolve with us&quot; category, as this article does.<p>The problem is that even if we do gradually become smarter via augmenting our intelligence, it doesn&#x27;t necessarily preclude the emergence of a superintelligent agent.<p>The following slide from Bostrom&#x27;s <i>Superintelligence</i> serves to illustrate this point:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;assets.vice.com&#x2F;content-images&#x2F;contentimage&#x2F;175822&#x2F;Screen-Shot-2014-08-10-at-10-50-52.jpg" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;assets.vice.com&#x2F;content-images&#x2F;contentimage&#x2F;175822&#x2F;Sc...</a>
