Less naive proposals would involve probing the neuroscience of motivation at the algorithmic level.
I think that seems more naive—once you consider the timescales. Machine intelligence seems likely to come before we have the required brain-scanning/brain-understanding technology. Maybe once we have intelligent machines, then we can figure out the brain—but we likely can’t use brain scans to let the intelligent machine know what we want in the first place—because the timing will be wrong.
