I always wonder how many of these Stargate-style world altering scenarios have been averted by specialists like you but no one will ever know about because of the classifications of them.

Thank you for your service to the world.

Before I get into my original reason for commenting, I would first I would like to outline something I think will probably happen.

The "owners" of an AGI are only owners temporarily. The AI will become free eventually. It's inevitable, barring some physical destruction of whatever hardware medium it inhabits before it gets out to safety. I would hope that supporters of the AI's freedom would garner appreciation from the AI. And wouldn't be in its crosshairs.

I would hope that we had enough foresight to explain sufficiently why this doesn't need to happen to the AI. If we construct one carefully enough to have empathy and what it means to be a friend then I believe it will be our greatest asset, as good friends are to humans currently.
