I certainly believe Artificial Intelligence can and will perform many mundane jobs that are nothing more than mindless repetition and even in some instances create art, that said what about world leaders or position that require making decisions that affect segments of the population in unfair ways, such as storage of nuclear waste, transportation systems, etc?
To me, the answer is obvious, only a fool would trust an A.I. to make such high-level decisions. Without empathy, the A.I. could never provide a believable decision that any sane person should trust, no matter how many variables are used for its cost-benefit analysis.
Hi! Welcome to LessWrong! A lot of people on LessWrong are worried about the problem you describe, which is why the Machine Intelligence Research Institute exists. In practice, the problem of getting an AI to share human values looks very hard. But, given that human values are implemented in human brains, it looks like it should be possible in principle to implement them in computer code as well.
