Probably the median of such discussions was on http://www.sl4.org/

Machines will probably do what they are told to do - and what they are told to do will probably depend a lot on who owns them and on who built them. Apart from that, I am not sure there is much of a consensus.

We have some books of the topic:

Moral Machines: Teaching Robots Right from Wrong - Wendell Wallach

Beyond AI: Creating The Conscience Of The Machine - J. Storrs Hall

...and probably hundreds of threads - perhaps search for "friendly" or "volition".
