Why not?
Unfortunately human ethics and morals cannot be reached by solely rational thought.
So a system without evolutionary alignment probably won’t have similar moral rules no matter how intelligent it is.
Btw this also includes any potential extraterrestrials.
Many people like to indulge in thinking: humans are horrible and that’s why aliens won’t contact us. But alien ethics systems are probably so alien we would call them utter evil monsters.
Just see what happens when people evaluate Muslim cultures, and vice versa. Can’t even agree on alignment within one species of Homo sapiens.
Chinese cheat on the exams. It’s not unethical in the way that it would be in USA.
Of course AI is going to cheat when no one is looking.
Alignment is fundamentally fallacious idea. At best you can restrain AI. This is what we should be doing - restraining research.
But that doesn’t sound good on slides.
