But we do dominate bears. They continue to exist only at our sufferance; we tolerate them for the most part (though we kill them quickly if they ever threaten us), but we could wipe them out easily if we wanted to. We probably won&#x27;t do it deliberately, but we drive a number of species to extinction if they&#x27;re in the way of resource extraction by us - there are estimates that 20% of extant species will go extinct as a result of human activity, and that&#x27;s with us deliberately trying not to cause extinctions!<p>(There are more technical arguments that an AI&#x27;s values would be unlikely to be the complex mismash that human values are, so such an AI would be very unlikely to share our sentimental desire to not make species extinct)
