>  it will take purely logical decisions that are highly efficient and guide the country and its citizens towards prosperity.

This is one of the problems I have with peoples dreams of AI running anything. Life is not about *logical decisions*. Sometimes the needs of the one or few, outweigh the needs of the many.


***logical decisions***

* Child has a birth defect that will cost lots of money and labor.
  * ***LD*** terminate child so that the resources can be spent on the many
* Man/woman 50+ has a heart attack lots of resources needed to assist
  * ***LD*** Do nothing, they are past prime work life, and will become a burden to society.
<br>
<p>
That is just two examples of <b><i>logical decisions</i></b>, with no emotion, no taking into account the needs of the one or the few, only the needs of the many.

How does one define prosperity? Prosperity is looked at currently as he/she is prosperous compared to me. They have more, they earn more, they live a better life than someone else. `...easily because it won’t have the human attributes of greed and ambition...` If there is no ambition, how do we become prosperous? 

I think removing the one or the few from the equation leads nowhere other than the extermination of Humans as a species.

I think the AI could be programmed where these types of scenarios aren't made purely on a logical basis. I wonder if we will ever be able to give AI emotions (or something that resembles emotions). What do you think?

I think that would be a more dangerous road than the pure logic scenario. It is hard to detect people with emotional/mental instabilities. I would hate to think of an AI having thoughts like Jeffrey Dahmer or any of the other serial killers. What if an AI had the emotional appeal toward people that Hitler had? Cold and impersonal AI would be an easier thing to deal with a thinking feeling AI.

Of course that is just my opinion. I see the bad side of AI more than the good side. AI could also be an altruistic AI, and care about the welfare of people. But like I said I see the bad side much more than the good.
