would independently discover and solve similar high level questions and be transferable to other domains From where would this curiosity and desire to find analogies and to use knowledge across domains arise? Are you saying it would spontaneously appear? You're going to have to explain how I think. How would a chess machine suddenly aquire a taste for sonnets? These traits have obvious advantages that led to their being selected for in humans. In an AI we'd presumably have to program it in purposefully.

>From where would this curiosity and desire to find analogies and to use knowledge across domains arise? Are you saying it would spontaneously appear? From the perspective of an AI it wouldn't at all be some new desire or curiosity for something outside its defined domain. It would be something squarely within its own domain that nevertheless has applicability outside of it.

  It would be something squarely within its own domain that nevertheless has applicability outside of it Why would it step outside its own domain to make this realization?

    You're continuing to attribute claims to me that I don't believe I'm making. If you think a freestanding statement about "applicability" in a general sense needs to be construed as an AI actively stepping outside it's domain, and as AI having it's own "realization", you should support that contention, so I can understand why you think that that's what I'm saying and we can go from there.

      We're talking about the risk of an AI going rogue and doing/thinking things we didn't want it to. That's why we're here. If all you're saying is, "an AI may learn things that might be applicable to other domains", that's fine but it doesn't support your point that you don't think AI will be easily confined to a single domain of knowledge. It's entirely possible a chess AI would be potentially incredibly good at some other domain like murdering humans (say), but you're going to have to explain why it would acquire a taste for murdering humans if you're saying we should be worried. I think any domain-specific intelligence, as it approximates "perfect", would independently discover and solve similar high level questions Solving a question requires intent. What would prompt it to consider those questions? If you're not saying those questions are in other domains, how is it relevant?
