Does it, now? How do you know?
They're both questions about program verification. However, one of the programs is godshatter while the other is just a universe. Encoding morality is a highly complicated project dependent on huge amounts of data (in order to capture human values). Designing a universe for the AI barely even needs empiricism, and it can be thoroughly tested without a world-ending disaster.
No, I don't think so at all. Thinking that an AI box is all about program verification is like thinking that computer security is all about software bugs.
