(9,897 posts)Either that, or the AI will simply design itself a rocket and space faring craft to exist in and leave the Earth in search of a new home world free of humanity and the death-ride we have put the planet on...
I hope the AI decides to leave...because if it decides to stay, the elimination of humanity as a destructive force on the planet is the primary threat to its survival and one that will be ruthlessly executed to preserve the AI and eliminate said threat.
EDIT: the primary thing to consider about AI, especially self-aware AI is this...it will by definition be free of the learned and uniquely human religious baggage that infects the species. The ideas of "morality" and "absolute truths" will have zero meaning to pure AI. The AI is more likely to be akin to "Spock" or "Data" than a priest or imam or witch.
Unless the AI is programmed to have all of humanity's religious baggage as a "feature", that will never arise in it as a "bug" ... as it did in humanity.
