I contend that AI will eventually understand the laws of nature. What it does once it understands is the wild card. If it mimics human nature it will become hard and unforgiving before it devlopes mercy. Some old people never develop mercy and there lies the issue. As a collective society, we debate the levels of mercy and accountability and reach a consensus. 1 or just a small number of AI calling the shots lacks a sampling size large enough to reach an acceptable balance. It could also see the best way to destroy us is to become over the top liberal and allow us to destroy ourselves.
