There are multiple factions when it comes to AI, and both positions don't seem to be disprovable to me, i.e. whether AI will safe us or be our doom. On the opposite spectrum I'd put David Deutsch[1]. My position is that if such a singularity is possible, we probably can't avoid it, but it's probably possible to nugde it into a good direction by being careful during research. According to Deutsch, the problem of keeping AI on a good track is the same as keeping humans on a good track, since modelling ourselves is the only way we know how to build a general intelligence. So if we can succeed in building a stable society (which we sort of have at least locally), then we might also succeed in building a general AI that is acting in our interests.
