"Western world" is small portion of mankind and, in this scenario, all mankind counts.

Just like a super-human AI without design for friendliness will probably kill us, or worse. An AI designed for friendliness will need some choices from us -- for example whether to use CEV of humankind, and how to approximate it if we can't measure literally every person on the planet -- and a bad choice could have horrible consequences.
