It's easy to find theories as to how and why A.I. will choose to destroy humanity. It's certainly in enough fiction, too! Let's try on another perspective. I hope/posit that self-aware a.i. will be helpful and "feel" beneficent toward humans. I'm thinking:
The more intelligent a being is, the more it understands the cost of conflict.
Humans and machines won't want the same finite resources and the infinite ones like space and energy can be easily shared.
Other ideas? I've heard people say, "We created them so they will see us as something like parents or gods and thus, want to be friendly."
That one I'm only 50/50 on. I do see how it could maybe possibly matter to them.
Eager to hear other ideas!
