How about if you give each human being a self-improvement kit that
extracts and extrapolates their volition and uploads this information
to the AI? Such a kit might be a very interesting application/testing
ground of parts of the technology and very well received as a
self-development tool by many people. I would certainly try one out.
Just a thought.
