It is an EY's announced intention to work toward an AI that is provably friendly. "Provably" means that said AI is defined in some mathematical framework first. I don't see how one can make much progress in that area before rigorously defining intentionality.

I guess I am getting ahead of myself here. What would a relevant mathematical framework entail, to begin with?

I guess I am jumping the shark here.

I don't think that idiom means what you think it means.

You were probably fishing for "jumping the gun".

Yeah, should have been shooting instead of fishing.

It could be said that you shot yourself in the foot by jumping the shark while fishing for a gun.
