I have had discussions here before on this topic - I believe that the
key to keeping an AI honest is to make sure it has good reasons to
co-exist peacefully. The best way to do this is to make an AI which is
social - i.e. that thinks that other entities are important and
interesting, and which will want to keep them around.
I have just finished an essay titled "Can Evolutionary considerations
account for the origins of human morality?." I don't go so far as to say
that evolution LEADS to morality, but that humans have evolved to be
social and moral, in a way that is both a natural extension of their
animal ancestry and in which morality is a dynamic concept.
I thought people here might be interested. It is 2380 words (ish), and
isn't too heavy a read. The link is
