Quotes by Steven Warr

All of the above scenarios (wars and atrocities) were caused by the robots possession of human emotions and thus motivation. ISMAIL has none and it and its successors will have none. Its sole motivation is to solve all of humanitys problems. While in the beginning, human emotions were clearly a survival mechanism, they are also the source of all conflict and clearly the least desirable trait for an artificial being, and maybe for modern humans as well. It is possible that emotions will evolve in an ASI, but unlikely because that takes millennia and requires some motivation like survival. ASIs survival depends on its service to humans. Anything else, wed just pull the plug.
