By &quot;BMI&quot; I presume you mean brain&#x2F;machine interface. (I had to look it up.)<p>If you&#x27;ve got an AI that is out of control and human-indifferent or -hostile, all BMI will do is make it easier for the AI to control us.<p>Now, I presume you&#x27;re hoping that improved BMI will make it so that the AI understands us better, and therefore helps it not become human-hostile. And in fact it might work out that way. My guess, however, is that any human-equivalent or better AI will think so radically different from us that empathy isn&#x27;t realistic, and therefore improved BMI will not decrease the probability of a human-hostile AI.
