-We don't need a superintelligence for ending hunger and the abject poverty that plague certain countries and segments of our societies. I suspect that it would cost less than what is being spent for fueling the AI boom.
-If I were poor, I would be even more wary of a superintelligence aligned to "human values" defined by a bunch of billionaires.
- AI won't likely create unlimited prosperity for everyone on a planet with finite resources
- all humans should, of course, have a say

Definitely not. If solving worldwide poverty was as easy as throwing one trillion dollars at it, we would have done it long ago. The problem is much deeper.
