> With the advent of Al and super technology, we are on the brink of the next stage in human civilization

This is just as hyperbolic and unrealistic as those who think that AI is going to kill all humans because it considers us an unacceptable risk.

It seems to me that with AI assisting in genetic engineering allowing us to take charge of our own evolution that might qualify as the next stage of human civilization, but perhaps I watch too much science fiction
What level of risk would a superintelligent AI consider "acceptable" when it comes to failure to accomplish its goal?
I don't know, as I've never experienced a superintelligent AI. The part I doubt is that we'll see AGI in our lifetime at all, let alone a superintelligent one.
