Ben what I meant was humans must understand how a malicious AI would destroy humanity.  It would convince humanity to fight itself using psyops.  It is not clear to me how to defend against that for most humans are underinformed on AI.  The countermeasures I referred to was not against AI but rather against humans who have been turned against humans.
