Comment by Michael Tontchev

Staff Engineer and lead for the Safety Evals Platform at Meta.
Superhuman AI is likely to arrive very soon (within 3-10 years). Technical controls and governance might allow humans to remain in control of it, but they're not on track to be ready. Think of it as playing chess against a superintelligence. You won't have a miraculous insight that lets you outsmart it. You will just lose. And if a rogue superintelligence is created, the game won't be chess.
