However insightful Jung was or wasn’t, his ideas are not precise. Meaning, none of us knows how to reduce them to math, or how to use them in practice to apply them to non-human systems. Almost all the work needed would be in that step, and it isn’t clear why starting from Jung would help more than starting from any other thinker who pondered the workings of the mind in that past several thousand years.
As an aside, if anyone did know how to do any of this, I think I’d much rather live in a world where an AI was aligned to think of itself as being in Rawles’ original position than one who thought of itself as an individuated Jungian archetype. I think both would be disastrous, but at least the former might be so indecisive it fails to do too much bad stuff.
