Once AI systems become more intelligent than humans, humans we will *still* be the "apex species."
Equating intelligence with dominance is the main fallacy of the whole debate about AI existential risk.
It's just wrong.
Even *within* the human species It's wrong: it's *not* the smartest among us who dominate the others.
More importantly, it's not the smartest among us who *want* to dominate others and who set the agenda.
We are subservient to our drives, built into us by evolution.
Because evolution made us a social species with a hierarchical social structure, some of us have a drive to dominate, and others not so much.
But that drive has absolutely nothing to do with intelligence: chimpanzees, baboons, and wolves have similar drives.
Orangutans do not because they are not a social species. And they are pretty darn smart.
AI systems will become more intelligent than humans, but they will still be subservient to us.
They same way the members of the staff of politicians or business leaders are often smarter than their leader.
But their leader still calls the shot, and most staff members have no desire to take their place.
We will design AI to be like the supersmart-but-non-dominating staff member.
The "apex species" is not the smartest but the one that sets the overall agenda.
That will be us.

A French man, Emile Leray, was on a solo trip in Morocco in 1993 when he encountered a challenge. His Citroen 2CV broke down in the middle of the Sahara when he accidentally hit a rock, which damaged his car's chassis. He was stranded several miles from the nearest settlement.
He realized that he couldn't make it out on foot, so he decided to build a makeshift motorbike using parts of his wrecked car to escape from the Moroccan desert. He had only a toolbox and enough supplies of food and water for 10 days.
He first detached the body, which he turned into his "house," and then the rest of the vehicle was pulled apart and gradually turned into a motorcycle. He converted the car's rear bumper into a rudimentary seat, shortened the chassis, and placed the engine and gearbox in the middle.
He successfully converted his 2CV into a motorcycle after twelve days of work and rode the bike out of the desert. After a day of riding, Emile was picked up by the Moroccan police force, who took him to the nearest village.
