Parents often let their children struggle and make imperfect decisions, and it's entirely possible (though definitely not guaranteed) that an AI superparent would do the same for us.

I think it's becoming clear that humans are fundamentally incapable of forseeing and understanding the consequences of the actions we are now capable of taking. It is likely that without some sort of super-governance that is fundamentally more capable than humans, we might not be able to survive as a species. Maybe AI can help solve that.
