May I offer an alternative view on intelligence and exploitation?
I think universally, people exploit others to gain resources because of resource scarcity. As people become smarter, I concede they do become more capable of exploiting others for resources. However, smarter people are also more capable of generating resources by ethical means, and they are more aware of ethical considerations.
I expect that increasing intelligence will decrease global resource scarcity, which will decrease people’s desperation to exploit others for resources. Therefore, even though increased intelligence enables more exploitation, it will decrease the amount of exploitation we see by removing the incentive that is resource scarcity.
