Just a random thought: aren't corporations superhuman goal-driven agents, AIs, albeit using human intelligence as one of their raw inputs? They seem like examples of systems that we have created that have come to control our behaviour, with both positive and negative effects? Does this tell us anything about how powerful electronic AIs could be harnessed safely?
One difference is that corporations have little chance of leading to an Intelligence Explosion or FOOMing (except by creating AI themselves).
