The only thing I’m confident of is that I want to hand the decision over to a person or group of people wiser than myself, even if I have to make them in order for them to exist, and that in the mean time I want to avoid doing things that are irreversible (because of the chance the wiser people might disagree and what those things not to have been done) and take as few risks as possible of humanity being destroyed or enslaved in the mean time. Doing things swiftly is on the list, but lower down the order of my priorities. Somewhere in there too is not being needlessly cruel to a sentient being (the AI itself) - I’d prefer to be a parental figure, than a slaver or jailer.
Yes, that’s far from being a clear cut ‘boil your own’ set of instructions on how to cook up a friendly AI; and is trying to maximise, minimise or optimise multiple things at once. Hopefully, though, it is at least food for thought, upon which someone else can build something closer resembling a coherent plan.
