I thought much the same once. This paper convinced me otherwise: https://selfawaresystems.files.wordpress.com/2008/01/ai_driv...

I'd be interested in your take on it.

Only skimmed it, but seems like my thoughts would be similar to manish_gill's above [1]: the assumptions are rooted in pop science fantasy.

More specifically, there are an infinite number of reasons for and against doing anything. Once we understand how humans weigh these reasons and choose between them and model them in an HGI system, we will be able to give it the values and morals that its creators choose.
