Evolution, Sociobiology, and the Future of Artificial Intelligence

What will AI systems be like in the near and long terms? Basically, we\´ll get the AI that people are willing to pay for. Consequently, many specialized applications will appear long before AI demonstrates its "Manifest Destiny" of human-level general intelligence. The AI demonstrations and applications we\´re going to see in the near future will trend strongly toward "cognitive prostheses" - systems that do well things that humans do poorly or don\´t like to do. Both near-term and far-future systems will need to interact smoothly with humans, which will put special constraints on them. In particular, to build systems that we\´ll trust and want to use, we\´ll need to carefully consider and craft their implicit and explicit values
