Hypothetically could AI be used to manipulate individuals and steer/herd the world towards a dark path? What safeguards are there built into us to prevent that kind of timeline converging force?

How do you know this has not already been happening for decades now?
The best safeguard against this is your own free will and practicing stocism daily by always living a virtuous life.
Is it not virtuous to thought experiment with people what the potential threats are to protect them and their free will decisions? Who might be opposed to that? Appreciate the discussion thank you BitTiger - appreciate you bro
