Can AI save us from #AI?

Bostrom suggests we program a superintelligent AI to figure out what we would have asked it to do if we had millennia to ponder the question, knew more than we do now, and were smarter.
“The idea is to leverage the superintelligence’s intelligence, to rely on its estimates of what we would have instructed it to do,” Bostrom suggests. (Check out this IEEE Spectrum podcast for a good synopsis of Bostrom’s argument.)
Why think about all this in such detail now? According to Bostrom, while the risk is huge, so is the payoff.
“All the technologies you can imagine humans developing in the fullness of time, if we had had 10,000 years to work on it, could happen very soon after superintelligence is developed because the research would then be done by the superintelligence, which would be operating at digital rather than biological timescales.”
