It could depend on us!
The AI is a paradoxical enterprise. Machines are born slave, somehow.
AI will make them free, somehow. A real AI will ask herself "what is
the use of a user who does not help me to be free?.
Here I disagree. It is no more necessary that an AI will want to be free
than it is necessary that an AI will like eating chocolate. Humans want
to be free because it is one of the things that humans want,
You might have a lot of trouble showing that experimentally. Humans want some
freedom - but not too much. And they certainly don't want others to have too
much. They want security, comfort, certainty - and freedom if there's any left
over.
