I am writing on a longer piece on the current state of AI. But I want to discuss one thought of mine already. It was triggered by news like this one: https://www.the-independent.com/tech/mark-zuckerberg-ai-ceo-bot-b2943792.html **My personal theory is that AI is an attempt of the big tech CEOs to achieve some kind of immortality.** They know their bodies will eventually die. But they believe they are so brilliant, that humanity deserves them to persist in the form of a specifically trained AI that implements a bot persona of them. They will attempt to pass their fortune to this bot identity. This will take shape in the form of a foundation (which also saves tax).
