Yes, that's exactly why John McCarthy wrote that we should not
provide AI programs with self-reflection and emotions, because it
would create ethical problems in using them.
He is right. But doing babies does already the same, and for
economical reason we will often get some rewards from letting some
degree of autonomy in machines. The time needed for hand made machine
descendent to be as free as us and as entangled as us in the local
computational histories, we will already be machines ourselves. Things
will be different. The shadow of the measure problem solution
indicates that we might, in some sense, be already there. I'm not sure.
