<Li> We understand better human abilities, behavioral tendencies, and vulnerabilities, so control measures might be more intuitive and easier to plan for . </Li> <Li> Emulations could more easily inherit human motivations . </Li> <Li> Emulations are harder to manipulate than de novo AI, because brains are messy and complicated; this could reduce risks of their rapid takeoff . Also, emulations may be bulkier and require more hardware than AI, which would also slow the speed of a transition . Unlike AI, an emulation wouldn't be able to rapidly expand beyond the size of a human brain . Emulations running at digital speeds would have less intelligence differential vis - à - vis AI and so might more easily control AI . </Li> <P> As counterpoint to these considerations, Bostrom notes some downsides: </P>
