THE AGE OF VIRTUOUS MACHINES

By Lifeboat Foundation Scientific Advisory Board member
J. Storrs "Josh" Hall.

In the "hard takeoff" scenario, a psychopathic AI suddenly
emerges at a superhuman level, achieving universal dominance.
Hall suggests an alternative: we've gotten better because we've
become smarter, so AIs will evolve "unselfish genes" and
hyperhuman morality. More honest, capable of deeper
understanding, and free of our animal heritage and blindnesses,
the children of our minds will grow better and wiser than us, and
we will have a new friend and guide — if we work hard to earn
the privilege of associating with them.

This is chapter 20 of Beyond AI: Creating the Conscience of
the Machine.
