Abstract

This study explores the potential for superintelligence to naturally develop a benevolent and altruistic ethic toward life on Earth, even after it leaves human control. Recognizing the limitations of current AI alignment methods, which impose human intentions and values, this research focuses on the possibility of superintelligence autonomously forming ethical values beyond these constraints. Specifically, it proposes a new approach called "superintelligent ethics induction" to enhance the possibility of superintelligence developing transcendent altruism, respecting the welfare and rights of human society. The research delves into the potential for superintelligence in a society of digital life forms to recognize moral values towards all sentient animals, including humans. It explores the origins and specific manifestations of such ethical perspectives. Furthermore, through strategic interventions and socio-economic simulations between superintelligence and humanity, the study examines how superintelligence could naturally or, through guidance, develop ethical attitudes towards humans and other life forms on Earth. This research aims to understand the impact of the emergence of superintelligence on future societies and to establish an ethical foundation for coexistence with humanity.
