AIs only have the instincts and goals that they are built with. TheyThe more I look and think about these type statements the harder I think it is to create in this way.
are not, e.g., inherently territorial. They do not even inherently want
to survive. If you want them to have the goal of surviving, then you
must include that among their goals. You appear to be presuming that an FAI would have the same goals and purposes that you do.
OTOH, we are going to want any AI that we create to understand us. This means that the AI will need some way of modeling our goals, purposes, etc. This implies that the AI will be able to EMULATE a goal structure similar to ours. There is, however, a tremendous difference between emulating a goal structure and operating off of it.
1. The AGI will of course be modeled much more closely to us than you believe. It will need to have as a large goal, surviving, just so it wont spend too many editions walking off a cliff, so it can optimize routes and activities that keep it in good working order, this WILL be very high on the equeation.
2. The second part, becomes tricky becuase I believe on one end it will be 'easier' to create an AGI that acts as human, that it will be to create one that can understand our goals. I keep picturing in my mind a min/max perfect architect AI that developes the perfect use of space in an office, designs everything to optimize workflow and such. And doesnt add any restrooms. Because it doesnt need restrooms, it doesnt think about adding them as optimal. I know this is not the best case here, but as this, we have to model the robots to be intelligent, and then on a seperate sidetrack, we have to explain to them how people act. It may be simpler to model them as people.
