Flycer’s explanation for better understanding:

The future of humanity with AGI / HLMI / transformative AI:

Self-awareness might motivate machines to protect, or at least not harm, a species that, despite being several orders of magnitude less intelligent than them, shares the thing that makes them care about who they are. Of course, it’s questionable whether we can hold out greater hope for the empathy of super-smart machines than what we currently see in many humans.

Flycer’s Secondary Explanation:

Self-aware machines may be motivated to protect or avoid harming humans due to a shared sense of identity. However, it is uncertain if machines will exhibit greater empathy than humans. The level of empathy in machines is still a matter of debate.
