You are just muddling the point. Computers don't evolve by random

them or we allow them to develop by random variation.
Like with genetical algorithm, but that is implementation details.
The devils in the details. It's not a question of natural vs artificial
(which you keep bringing up for no reason). It's a question of whether
AIs will necessarily have certain fundamental values that they try to
implement, or will they have only those we provide them?
As I said, the difference between artificial and natural is
artificial. Even the species does not evolve just by random variation.
Already in bacteria, some genes provoke mutation, and some
meta-programming is at play at the biological level.
What does it mean "provoke mutation"? Do they "provoke" random
mutation? Or are they dormant genes that become active in response to
the environment, epigenetic "mutation".
