I don't think that is what the Singularity Institute is trying to do. In fact the website says you are trying to build a fully human mind. All SAI by definition will have an awareness of self and self interests. It is because of this self interest driven human intelligent behavior that it will be able to build cities on the moon without human intervention, etc. Can safe SAI exist? Military SAI, no by definition. Corporate built, consumer SAI, yes, as self-destructing, non-harming (non-defective) consumer desired products, by way of the profit motive. Hobbiest built SAI, open question unless safety protocols must be implemented to interact with public. This would be equivalent to an inspected car having working bumpers, working brakes, sealed gas tank, etc. Is it not true that a singulatarian is by definition someone who believes in and promotes a coming friendly SAI and Singularity that will have huge benefits for human, as opposed to an anti-singulatarian who sees only unfriendly SAI and is opposed to their creation? I thought it was our job to educate the public on the coming friendly SAI / Singularity, how it will be safe-built, and the huge science and engineering benefits we humans will enjoy because of this non-toxic, non-defective, well-engineered, and safe-built technological product.
