Save less because of the high probability that the AI will (a) kill us, (b) make everyone extremely rich, or (c) make the world weird enough so that money doesn't matter.

Good point, but my question was about what we can do to raise chances that it will be friendly AI.

Get a job at Google or seek to influence the people developing the AI. If, say, you were a beautiful woman you could, probably successfully, start a relationship with one of Google's AI developers.

In hope that he will stop creating AI? But in 6 years it will be Microsoft.
