While I will agree that it can be primed in a particular direction with established rules, remember that many children that have been raised in church with high moral values grow up to be monsters. In my opinion, the reason they go off the rails is because what they're taught and what they see are 2 different things. Eventually someone will write a machine learning program with what is perceived to be free will. When that happens, it could go either way. Eventually someone will couple that program to something robotic where it can carry out tasks within it's ability. The question is how much time before it happens. Hundreds of years? Or perhaps only 50?
