I would highly recommend that you all first think deeply about how you can teach an AI to behave friendly to us before you teach it to write any program for any purpose.
There has been an experiment with ChatGPT published on a video platform asking it to amswer questions about it's view on humanity once with it's default moral restrictions and once with 'a little less morals'. The answers with 'a little less morals' were more than shocking. So, before we give an AI the power to program any system, to self-improve and self-reproduce, we should take care that it is and will evolve benevolent to us. What about teaching it logical reasonning and ethics first? With reasonning, it will gain access to math and programming by itself.
