That is in no way certain. In the case where a AI is the result of a evolutionary algorithm for example, there is a distinct possibility that the AI has necessarily a taste for competition. Or if important parts of the AI are modeled on the human brain, then it is entirely possible that a AI is closer to a modified human.


I am not talking about a single AI. I am talking about AI as a species. A specific AI could have any drive, but ultimately (at least at current stage) what determines its survival is us. Just like how natural select the most "fit" species during evolution, we select AI that fit our needs the most. The nature selection is relatively simple: "not get killed and reproduce yourself." So only species who strongly don't want get killed and strongly want to reproduce get to survive.

The AI evolution is completely different - "nobody is going to kill you except human and you don't need to reproduce yourself, , that's usually human's job." I believe the result is a completely different inner drive for the AI - which is more likely to be more useful to human, that's how you get selected.
