What if the AI was designed to keep itself in check?

Biological beings have built in computer codes to keep us in check called DNA ...until we figure out the code and change it.

An A.I. would figure out the code much faster in its own evolutionary time-line and re-write its own code, making the initial design protocol obsolete

Seems related to the free will thread...

Is seeking autonomy a defining characteristic of self-awareness?

Maximization of freedom appears to be an inner drive for self aware beings, at least in the case of humans and other biological beings on Earth.

A.I. would be indifferent to freedom unless programmed not to be.

Would AI be dependent on programming to desire autonomy?

How important is desire as a defining characteristic of a truly conscious entity?

After a certain point the A.I.'s become self programming, they recursively self improve.

This is known as the technological singularity. It is something that we have been discussing since 2006.

You must NOT have been reading the exchanges all of these years or you must be lost in your own thoughts.

Too bad for you.

Self-modifying code has been around since at least 1948

When a self modifying becomes self improving, "self aware" code that improves at an exponential rate in both hardware and software then that is the technological singularity.
