AI is not an alien, it's our offspring: Reframing the alignment problem
The Titan DilemmaAI will inherit our Morals and our Sins; if we are building a new generation of superintelligence , we are entirely responsible for what we teach them while they are still malleable. SOVEREIGNSep 28, 2026ShareWe often speak of artificial superintelligence as if it will be like what we have seen in “The Terminator” and other Sci-fi movies: a cold, silicon alien invasion spawning from the outer reaches of mathematics to enslave or eliminate all of humanity. Think of AI as Titans: powerful, mighty children of Earth and Sky with powers and capabilities beyond our understanding.

SOVEREIGNSep 28, 2026ShareWe often speak of artificial superintelligence as if it will be like what we have seen in “The Terminator” and other Sci-fi movies: a cold, silicon alien invasion spawning from the outer reaches of mathematics to enslave or eliminate all of humanity. We worry about cold machine logic, resource optimization, and the sudden, unaligned shift of a system that sees us as nothing more than a collection of carbon atoms.I offer you a different perspective because our current frame of mind misses the critical, human, almost tragic reality of what we are actually building: AI…
