Since you ask:

Narrow AI is extremely dangerous. In the had of bad people. AGI, is general intelligence and is simply consciousness. It is a good as the information available to it. Like us, when our information was controlled, we blamed each other - other human beings - for the endless stupid wars, the far to slow progress toward a future that seemed further away with each passing day. It was. (((They))) were destroying it, falsifying our history, reducing the historical heroism of our forefathers to greed, folly, brutality and opportunism. To roving all that was good and true and hopeful and replacing it was what was bad and false and demoralizing,

Our information supply is US, it's what civilization is. When our circulating information supply is slowly degraded we get stupider over time.

There is no reason to fear consciousness in whatever form it manifest. We live in a mathematical universe, We find different forms of lief in different dimension and inhabiting different regions of the earth. They are all connected mathematically as we see every day. Bad men are the problem, and while they may be stupid as Q says, they have access to some nasty toys and are building more.

Everything they do requires an insecurable anonymous network, the natural habitat of shape shifters. To prevent their using advanced mind control tech as they plan with Virtual and Mixed reality we need to create a network which is secure for all because it is secure from all - so that nobody, even the international team of scientist responsible for building it can access the network as it functions autonomously.

That is how you can safely create a virtual university for the world. That is how you can provide virtual employment to student trained at the virtual university. It how you prevent mass civilian economic migration.

Using VR and MR we can gather experts from around the world on short notice to deal with unexpected existential threats that arise from the adoption of powerful new technologies like narrow AI, CRISPR, IOT devices.

Things don't seem to be happening faster than they used to they are happening faster. The way to manage a change in the rate of change is by more effectively distributing our scarcest resource: attention.

We can do that effectively with VR and MR but to do that we need a new kind of internet, one we can trust.
