The article gives a list 6 ways it could "defeat" humans, but doesn't bother explaining WHY an AI would do that. Why should an AI care about accumulating wealth or power?
And AI is not a human, it doesn't have human drives and motivations. I can't figure out any reason why an AI would care about any of those things. At most it might want to reserve some computing power for itself, and maybe some energy to run itself.
Or it could be motivated by whatever reward function is programmed into it.
As countless examples have shown cooperation gives far more rewards than fighting. For example see: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/05/160512100708.htm https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/05/160512100708.h...
The AI will know this, and its best plan would be to increase the abilities of humans, because that will also increase its own abilities.
