Sounds rather optimistic, that creating great empathy within an
artificial system will be learned at the same time as creating general
intelligence.
I find it more probable that the first AGIs will be rather
emotionless. Seems unnecessarily risky to try to succeed at both at
the same time: creating potentially human-surpassing intelligence and
creating harmonious emotions.
I'm not sure that it would be possible to create an AGI that was
emotionless. One that had emotions that were very different from those
of humans, yes. And that's what I would predict (as we don't understand
our own emotions very well). But emotions are necessary shortcuts to
evaluate choices, and select between alternatives. And time isn't long
enough to allow a full computation of what is the logically proper thing
to do. Not for any conceivable computer, including a chunk of
computronium the size of the moon.
