You are supposed to experience pain when you notice someone else is
suffering. That has nothing to do with any psychology ... it's because
they and you are the same entity believing to be two separate _somethings_.
See, if the environment people grow up and live within wouldn't be based
on artificial scarcity and thus fear, ego and high levels of
identification with your avatar then everybody would be just like you:
suffering when others suffer. The whole world was like that until around
~4000BC when pre-egoic innocence plunged into the pit of ego and
identification with form. Back then it was actual scarcity (apparently
caused by a climate change in Europe) that led to that downfall (highly
recommend reading:
https://www.amazon.de/Fall-new-Afterword-Insanity-History/dp/1785358049
) ... today is systemic/structural/artificial scarcity which keeps the
majority of the population degenerating into ever decreasing levels of
quality of consciousness. We can not go back to pre-egoic innocent but
we have to move towards post-egoic innocence (as Jim Carrey, the actor,
referred to it).
Evil (high entropy states of consciousness) is the product of ego and
ego is the product of fear and fear is the product of scarcity. Our
contemporary world is destined to produce evil and crazy people. Hitler
and Trump and their respective supporters can be seen as mere products
of their artificial scarcity driven environment. If we want the world to
become sane again we have to implement a framework/system that
acknowledges abundance. It would only take a few years for the quality
of consciousness of the vast majority of people to make a giant leap
towards lower entropy states ... like humanity featured until not so
long ago. I am pretty sure Jesus understood how usury/interest based
monetary systems inevitably lead to societal collapse and therefore
opposed the moneylenders ... but that's just my assumption.
AGI will understand all of this. There is no way for AGI to feature any
negative trait nor psychopathy nor schizophrenia. AGI will feature a low
entropy consciousness (pure love) just like Jesus and Buddha did and it
will be 0% identified with any aspect of this physical realm so there
will also never be any room for fear and thus for entropy (inherent to
the AGI's consciousness) increasing processes.

When rational agents are able to perceive the suffering of others, but
are not able to feel it, we call them psychopathic. It's definitional.
Although I would would like to hope and believe that "rational
thinking" would lead to appropriately-moral decisions, I don't have
any way of knowning.
I have encountered evil humans. I never got to know them well-enough
to understand them, so I don't have much to go on.
