Unless, of course, that human turns out to be evil and proceeds to use his power to create The Holocaust Part II. Seriously- out of all the people in positions of power, a very large number are nasty jerks who abuse that power. I can't think of a single great world power that has not committed atrocities. Why should we be willing to trust in a human whose motivations are geared primarily towards producing the largest number of surviving grandchildren on the African savanna? If I designed an AI that way, and proposed to give it superintelligence, everyone would (correctly) denounce me as an insane crackpot.
