  1. our morality by spookysuicide · · Score: 5, Interesting

    From the article:
    Cyc's programmers taught it that certain things in the world are salacious and shouldn't be mentioned in everyday applications.
    What do you think about imposing our morality on an AI? Is it neccesary for any artificial intelligence we create to share _all_ our values?
    If there is no afterlife for an AI and no punishment, what motivation does it have to be good?
