Ideally most things would be taken care of by super-intelligent benevolent AIs, kind of like Iain Banks' Culture. Picon small.pngLiquid Blue 21:30, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

    Why should the AI's be any more benevolent than their programmer?

      They would be conscious, of course.

        I never know what that means if I'm speaking with materialists.

        Is "consciousness" supposed to help them to be benevolent? If they feel pleasure or pain it seems it may rather give them needs and interests of their own. Wouldn't they be more concerned with their own pleasure rather than the humans, or would the programmers override this with "altruistic intentions"?
