    Are fears of AI anti-intellectualism 2.0 ?

    Why do people automatically associate intellectual capability with evil?

    Does American anti-intellectualism explain the difference in perception of AI by Americans and Chinese?

      Bold to claim "anti-intellectualism" when the existential risk arguments are abundant all over the internet and from AGI researchers everywhere for you to fix your misunderstanding. Intellectual capability is orthogonal to the entity's goals. If the extreme intelligence does not have the same goals, it will easily be able to pursue things that don't have our best interests in mind.
