AI Scientist Daniel Kokotajlo postulates in his text >>KI 2027<< In the "Race" scenario, that a super-intelligent AI in 2030 concludes that humanity is standing in its way – and wipes it out with a newly developed weapon. However, Kokotajlo does not give AI’s motivation for such a step.
The human motivations of competing factions for such a step would be power, wealth or sex and survival, but neither can be exercised by an AI. The “Race” text ends with:
"Earth-born civilization has a glorious future ahead of it – but not with us."
What is your opinion?
