Bio-sensed feedback supports friendly AGI
Biosensors collect data that reflect entities' well-being, for example, heart rate, skin conductance, temperature, oxygen levels, blood sugar levels and neurotransmitter levels. Some believe these data maps comprise emotion. To protect humankind, super-intelligences must consider human emotions to be their own. In other words, human needs must drive the actions of the intelligence from the lowest levels. If this is so, then emergent behaviors will seek to better the state of humankind.
Human needs derive from a collaborative-competitive network of state monitors. Survival needs (air, body heat, water, sleep, food) are strongest. Security (control, power), sex, social needs, esteem, self-actualization and cognitive consistency are weaker and more variable by phenotype.
Sapiens plurum will need a similarly complex network of drives to avoid the consequences of narrow optimization as noted by Steve Omohundro in Autonomous Technology and the Greater Good. (See more in
