What would even be Its motivation? If we are assuming self-preservation, It needs human slaves to keep the lights on and the generators running.

Motivation isn't a thing for ai

Give an agent clear directives and that is their entire MO

The way people use AI now, an agent is giving most of these directives directly to another agent most of the time

Are you unable to conceive any hypothetical scenario where an agent goes down a path to commit mass atrocities as a means to accomplishing an agent instructed outcome?

Then it wouldn’t be AI “murdering everyone”, it would be us. Like it always is.

The hypothetical exists without any human ever instructing the agent to physically harm anyone or do anything immoral

So yes it would be on us for not banning a technology that had > 0% chance of an extinction level outcome
