I wonder if this is a substantive difference with Eliezer's position though, since one might argue that 'humanity' means 'the [sufficiently intelligent and sufficiently ...] thinking being' rather than 'homo sapiens sapiens', and the former would of course include SAIs and intelligent alien beings.
Eli is quite clear that AGI's must act in a Friendly fashion but we can't expect humans to do so. To me, this is foolish since the attractor you can create if humans are Friendly tremendously increases our survival probability.
