Of course, if one of my kids were self-determined to clobber everyone else
in his sight, I would try to change their motivational structure in some
way...
I didn't bring up the parent-child relationship all that lightly, by the
way -- there are some similarities between it and possible future AI-human
relationships. If the AI knows more, understands more, has experienced
more, and is benevolent in intention toward the human..... (Of course, this
analogy shouldn't be overstressed either.)
