I don't think that's Bill's definition of happiness - it just one way that
AGIs might tune in to what people are feeling. Same as we use these
body language clues. If you smile I think that at least fleetingly you are
happpy. But why you are happy and what it means for you the smile is
not going to tell me (or anyone).
I know that Bill expects AGIs to model the world around them, including
the other sentient being they observe. To do this model building the
AGI would have to have spophisticated understanding of people and
their circumstances.
Cheers, Philip
