Ruxandra Teslo warns an AI utopia could leave humans powerless

In “Handing over humanity,” Ruxandra Teslo challenges “handoverism,” the idea of entrusting humanity’s future to a benevolent superintelligence. Drawing on conversations in San Francisco and AI leaders’ public statements, she argues that survival alone is not success if humans cannot shape their own lives. She acknowledges this outcome is uncertain and calls for broader public debate rather than resignation.
