Civilization-Scale Intelligence Systems

Some thinkers propose abandoning the “superintelligence agent” model entirely.
Instead build civilization-scale intelligence systems.
Instead of one brain:
distributed cognition:
humans
AI assistants
institutions
open knowledge
This resembles:
scientific communities
open-source development
Interestingly, this is close to the philosophy behind Open Source Ecology — distributed collaborative intelligence building infrastructure.
In that model:
AI is not a sovereign optimizer.
It is a tool inside a cooperative civilization network.
That structure dramatically reduces extinction risk.
