It doesn't seem very effective to me
Yeah, it doesn't make much sense in long run, even if you are utilitarian and value well-being of every human equally. Although, if we take your idea to logical extreme, shouldn't we aim to replace humans with high IQ not necessarily friendly AI?


Even if you make that your priority, the most viable way to reduce population growth would probably be to help them develop enough for widespread contraceptives and abortion.
Genocide is nicely edgy but not realistic.

I think this is inevitable. We should strive to leave as much science and tech on this planet as possible for these will probably be our only long-term legacies.

The average IQ in many parts of Sub-Saharan Africa is in the low 70s, they are never goin to "develop." That's a standard deviation lower than the shitty parts of Latin America. They are basically a different branch of the genus homo.

AI will advance to a degree that it can be easily controlled by the elites to reign over their homogenous africanoid worker population who subsist on insects and live in coffin apartments.
