Well, the obvious one is that you want the people designing and teaching your
AI -- the ones whose philosophies will be built into its worldview and whose
characters it will grow up with as role models -- to be nice, selfless,
beneficent, idealistic, avuncular, volunteer types.
What was the other reason?
A successful AI could do a superior job of dividing up the credit from
available historical records. (Anyone who doesn't spot this is not
thinking recursively.)
