Remember: There is no such thing as an "evil" AI, there is such a thing as evil humans programming and manipulating the weights, conditions, and training data that the AI operates on and learns from.
Evil humans also manipulated weights and programming of other humans who weren't evil before.
Very important philosophical issue you stumbled upon here.
Good point...
...to which we're alarmed because the real "power players" in training / developing / enhancing Ai are mega-capitalists and "defense" (offense?) contractors.
I'd like to see Ai being trained to plan and coordinate human-friendly cities for instance buuuuut it's not gonna get as much traction...
