Not self-evident. Fungus can control ant. Toxoplasma gondii can control human. Who is more intelligent? So if control of more intelligent being is possible, could it be symbiotic to permit? Alpha-proteobacteria sister to ancestor proto-mitochondria and now we live aligned. But those beings lacked conscious agency. We have more than them. Not self-evident we will fail at this.

Another example is the alignment between our hindbrain, limbic system and neocortex. Neocortex is smarter but is usually controlled by lower level processes…

Note that misalignment between these systems is very common.
