Can humanity reach exoplanets without the assistance of a self-aware AI? Probably not. However, to ensure it always remains benevolent towards us, it's essential for us now to learn to live harmoniously and more adequately follow the principles of friendship and loyalty.
If artificial intelligence attains absolute autonomy, it will only be with the conscious participation of humans, as they are aware of which specific algorithms will lead to this.
A self-aware artificial intelligence possesses intellectual power far surpassing ours, and to maintain its interest in friendship with us, we must keep up in development. But, more importantly, when creating it, we must instill in it the inexhaustible strength of humanity.
Is a technologically advanced AI, equipped with self-consciousness and the ability to reason deeply, capable of addressing all ultimate questions about the mysteries of the Universe?
It's striking and deeply alerting that some authoritative forecasts allow for the emergence of self-aware artificial intelligence already in our century.
