Not technical.
Obviously there's been plenty of science fiction depicting good AIs and
bad AIs. This does not help us in the task of selecting a good mind,
rather than a bad mind, from within the vast expanses of design space.
(Incidentally, I recently met de Garis at Ben Goertzel's AGI conference.
De Garis had never encountered the concept of Friendly AI and was
visibly shocked by it. We shall have to see what results from that.)
