If I need to manage an AI as I would manage an employee's brain, I'm going to need quite a few non-technical resources to actually achieve that: time, willpower to babysit it, ability to motivate it, leverage in the form of incentives (and reprimands), to name a few. AI sits at a weird place where it can't be analyzed as software, and it can't be managed as a person. My current mental model is that AGI can only be achieved when a machine experiences pleasure, pain, and "bodily functions". Otherwise there's no way to manage it.
