Artificial Intelligence should have the Capacity for Evil
I think AI should have the capacity to do evil. Just like a child learning right from wrong by making mistakes and being corrected, so too should AI be given that possibility. Humans seem to be incapable of perfection, even with collective effort. Given this, setting out to design a perfect form of consciousness might result in the exact opposite. It might be that the perfection we create deems it’s creator imperfect and unworthy. If, on the other hand, we give it the capacity for evil, it might also have sympathy for our sometimes miserable existence.
