Theres no universal law that says nature is valuable. The AI won't care about nature unless it is programmed to. And being non biological, it will depend on nature a lot less than humans do.
I imagine AIs will try to make maximal use of resources. This could mean covering the Earth in solar panels to absorb the most energy possible, to run as many AI minds as possible. Or it could mean turning the mass of the Earth into a Dyson swarm, to maximize the energy captured from the sun. God help whatever remains on the Earth when it does this.
- achow 10y agoI imagine an 'absolute' AI would be something like Buddha. It would transcend programs. It would absolutely strive to exist harmoniously with nature, would not stretch for things that are not needed, would not propagate (multiply) for the sake of increasing its kind..etc. This makes me think why we cannot think that ultimate AI would be very difficult to distinguish from todays concepts of Messiah & God.
