How would that work? AI cannot run if society collapses.

Maintaining all that infrastructure and supplying spare parts is not going to work.

Also AI cannot do anything on its own. Barely anything with support from humans.

This is also my reasoning for why I think AI alignment is not going to be a problem for humanity any time soon.

By the time AI will be capable of maintaining the whole supply chain required to keep itself running sufficient time will have passed so we can come up with something viable.

Long before 2100, critical AI system will no longer be operating from this soil. They are in Earths orit, and on its moon.

That doesn’t mean some idiot billionaires huffing each others’ farts can’t think it can.

Respectfully disagree. An AI with full access to robots could do everything on its own that it would need to "survive" and grow. I argue that humans are actually in the way of that.
