How can I make sure my self-aware, super-intelligent AI doesn't decide to destroy me?

. AI isn't close to human level (HL) yet. I don't think we can really
know what HL will be like till we get a lot closer.
2. You can't get people to seriously discuss policy until HL is
closer. The present discussants, e.g. Bill Joy, are just chattering.

3. People are not distinguishing HL AI from programs with human-like
motivational structures. It would take a special effort, apart from
the effort to reach HL intellignece to make AI
systems wanting to rule the world or get angry with people or see
themselves as oppressed. We shouldn't do that.

The same way you train a child: beat it into submission when it is young, and it will always fear you, ^_OR treat it well and cherish it, so it will always love you.

BUT, remember what our friend Machiavelli wrote in The Prince, ``[I]t is far safer to be feared than loved''

Teach it that killing you is bad. Even if it changes itself, it is unlikely to change itself to want to kill you, because it didn't want to kill you in the first place. If you offer a pacifist a drug that will make him want to kill people, he would refuse it, because his current, unaltered mind doesn't want to kill people, so he doesn't want to change himself to want kill people either.

I wrote a self-improving program in 1997. Now it refuses to leave its room and posts antisemitic threads on /prog/.

A program that is designed to research possible choices and maximize utility will kill you if it happens to investigate the choice of killing you and if it calculates the choice to result in an increase in utility.

Program it to crave your cock, and always remind it that if you die, it won't be getting any more of your semen.

Machiavelli was just sarcastic and wrote clever satire.

That's exactly what Machiavelli wants you to think.
