Ginevra Lily Davis develops the idea that humanity may be a biological bootloader for digital superintelligenceSuperintelligence is a hypothetical level of AI capability that would greatly exceed human ability across most important intellectual tasks.. Her argument is not that humans lack value, but that qualities people prize, such as intelligence, kindness and creativity, may not be uniquely human and could exist to a greater degree in future minds.
Davis connects that thesis to alignment and moral realism. She argues that current secular thought lacks a clear account of why a superintelligence should preserve humanity, while suggesting that reality may still contain objective reasons to prefer some futures over others.
Davis considers merger and succession scenarios and declines to give a firm superintelligence timeline. She emphasizes thresholds where events become strange or dangerous and asks how much future intelligence humans might share through augmentation.
