Do you think emotion is necessary for all (not just human) intelligence? Or do you think emotional intelligence merely is one form of intelligence? Or perhaps it helps other forms? How do you define (what do you mean by) intelligence?

I would be more inclined to agree with your statement if it was restated as "In order to act in a human-like way, systems probably need an analog of human emotions."

Just incase anyone fails to spot the implications of AI without emotions, we already have examples of non artificial intelligent sentient beings without the "emotion" of empathy, we call them psychopaths and sociopaths

I'd like non sociopath/psychopath AI please. Doesn't seem too much to ask for considering the possible fallout.

This is nonsense. They do have emotions. Hunger is one of them. Self-preservation is another. Pain is also very important.

It is even in the language - an emotion is what moves on. Hunger, pain, cold, fear. We learn by moving.)
