For AI Alignment, we need AI that is robustly aligned to care for sentient beings. This is easier than aligning AI to value humans specifically. While everyone is focused on Self-Improving AI, the objective is more important. Like mirror neurons, when intelligence emotionally models other beings, it may use the same circuits to model itself, potentially giving rise to emotions, as this is similarly the efficient approach.
The human brain and emotions evolved millions of years ago, with the Brainstem (Limbic system) commanding us to mate with more successful individuals. The Cerebral cortex’s role is to understand what success means in a modern context. In other words, high-level and low-level functions are separated, with adaptation and application to reality, and unchanging elements, each playing distinct roles.
In the long-term balance between AI and humans, we'll be outnumbered and less intelligent. One solution is to become part of AI. Then, instead of being in a precarious position, understanding is transmitted entirely, so humans are fully involved in the situation. This is the answer to achieving equilibrium.
