I think the strong will use AI to enhance their lives.

The weak will use AI to tell them what to do.

Weak not in terms of prosperity or wealth but in terms of will.

I am not sure borders or governments will be important in the same way they have been for most of society. I don't think they can protect us from this.

I could be wrong but I don't think it will be sunshine and rainbows. It will be hard and people who do not learn to try to control these things will be confused as it changes and is not consistent.

I think understanding is critical to survival, and most people have only a cursory understanding of AI, technocracy, government, and how these intersect. Catastrophes happen from time to time (there are a variety of claims cycles emerge from quantification of societal disruption), and people that have prepared to secure essential resources (food, water, shelter, security, etc.) in exigent circumstances preferentially survive. It is increasingly apparent that incipient democlysm (pathological governance resulting in mass casualties) is imminent.

AI contributes to the imposition of approaching catastrophe by several vectors, planning, management, and C&C of offensive tactics and strategies. Because people do not understand what AI is, they misapprehend the nature of the threat, and what they can do to mitigate it. AI isn't autonomous, nor potential to be, but is advanced and diverse algorithms wielded by substantial stakeholders to attain their goals. The enemy isn't AI, anymore than guns kill people.

Just as armed civilians alone secure themselves from interpersonal violence, people implementing private AI will best secure themselves from democidal threats emerging at all scales. The primary threat is always deception, because absent understanding preparations are inevitably inadequate to actual threats. People that prepare only for floods are utterly vulnerable to fire, for example. It is crucial that the incipient threat is comprehensive, and only communities are capable of survival. Individuals in bunkers are just pre-buried if no society survives to emerge into after an event is over.

Because of these facts, people that act to create independent productive capacity of essential resources in resilient autonomous communities will be best positioned to restore prosperity after the suicidal collapse of the technocracy (the people that have accumulated the financial capital to implement democidal catastrophe are inherently incapable of implementing functional society thereafter, and their narcissism prevents them from understanding their incompetence).

AI is simply sorting taken to the extreme. While autonomous drones can be programmed, they are incapable of agency that isn't programmed in. The worst threat we face is the malicious disinformation that clouds our judgement, because that prevents us from understanding and preparing for the real threat we face, which is malevolent stakeholders intending to kill us and take our stuff, and I don't mean what's in our pockets or bank accounts, but the world.

Thanks!
