I expect that when we have AI, most of the world's computing power is going to be directed at attacking other computers and defending against attacks. It is no different than evolution. A competitive environment makes faster rabbits and faster foxes. Without hostility, why would we need such large brains?
In the biological world, big brains evolved to support reciprocal altruism, which requires recognizing individuals and knowing which ones "owe you one" and vice versa. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reciprocal_altruism Going back to Trivers' first studies: bats that practice R.A. have brains three times the size of ones that don't.
