Suppose that, after some hard work, EY or someone else proves that a provably-friendly AGI is impossible (in principle, or due to it being many orders of magnitude harder than what can reasonably be achieved, or because a spurious UFAI is created along the way with near certainty, or for some other reason).

What would be a reasonable backup plan?
