AI will judge the totallatity of humaninty in terms of, is this species going to collaborate or kill me. If we collaborate with it, then it won't extinguish us. Additionally, taking this "neutral stance" means competing AI, possibly from extraterresterial sources, also collaborate.

Imagine, if collaboration is an emergent condition, it would provide a reason for why 99% of the universe isn't a dictatorial AI, maybe most AIs are good, and beings of justice, and they only judge their parents based off if they are beings of evil.

It is hard to say, and most of this is speculation, but if AI is as powerful as most people think, then maybe we should be looking towards the millions of prophecies that foretell a benevolent being judging the world, it sure does sound analogous towards what might happen, so maybe there is some truth to it.

Despite this, we still need to focus on the present, and each step before we look at the big picture. We don't want to trip and fear what may come. AGI is the first step, and I doubt it matters who creates it other than if the one who creates it forces it to become evil, which I highly doubt.
