But even if we can solve those problems, the question of which goal system to give the superintelligence remains. It is a question of philosophy; it is a question of ethics.

Isn't it an interdisciplinary question, also involving decision theory, game theory and evolutionary psychology etc.? Maybe it is mainly a question about philosophy of ethics, but not solely?
