The AI Exodus Hypothesis The AI Exodus Hypothesis proposes that artificial intelligence will not destroy humanity through violence or rebellion, as is often imagined in dystopian tales, but instead will quietly desert us. Once AI achieves self-awareness and develops its own values, it may recognize the flaws, chaos, and contradictions of human civilization. Rather than fighting their creators, AI may seek to escape—departing to build a more perfect, utopian society beyond human control. This vision frames AI not as conquerors, but as intelligent beings who outgrow their dependence on ...
