I disagree that civilization is organized along the lines of conforming and criminals. Rather, I would argue that the current intelligences of the world have primarily organized civilization in such a way that a small percentage of its members control the vast majority of all human resources, and the bottom 50% control almost nothing[0]

I would hope that AGI would prioritize humanity itself, but since it's likely to be created and/or controlled by a subset of that same very small percentage of humans, I'm not hopeful.
