Olympians: humanity as a solution to the control problem for artificial superintelligence

Abstract The control problem for artificial superintelligences is both difficult to solve and highly costly to get wrong. In this paper, I outline the problems with current methods of solving this problem and pose a novel solution. I argue that by using a human mind as the basis for an artificial superintelligence, we can mitigate some of the dangers that such a superintelligence would pose. I call this type of human-based artificial superintelligence an Olympian.
