I don't know how you could do this in practice, but nature has
proved that intelligent beings can have their behaviour towards
other beings constrained in various ways. An obvious example is that
we care for our children. If one could built (or otherwise cause to
come into being) an AI with a reward mechanism, and specify that
"caring about human beings" would be one of the ways to trigger it,
one might be able to make a benevolent God...
If there were such reward system, he will want optimize his reward and
He might find more easy to switch his reward system so that it is is
triggered by the human suffering, which is far more easy to produce.
(Of course Asimov's 3 Laws say exactly this, though in more
"robotic" terms. And one might read Frank Herbert's "Destination
Void" carefully before embarking on this project...)
We can't control children and machines, but we can teach them our
errors.
