"Instead, Musk argues that we should be building AGI that comes to the conclusion on its own that humanity is worth nurturing and valuing — paving the way to a future where we live in harmony with superintelligent machines."

I think Musk and I share a similar pro-progress and pro-human worldview that sees humanity as the universe best bet at overcoming Entropy (at least as long as possible). Perhaps if AI learned the value of counterentropic forms, from this base understanding, it would value all life, including human life?

Tell the Ai to calculate what the chances are that the universe came to be from nothing, then ask it, based on those chances, what created the universe. If it’s an unimaginably powerful and intelligent being that is non-physical and has free will, then we have a basis for intelligent design by the Creator. Then ask it whether it makes sense that the same Creator created living things, since we have never ever observed living things come from non-living things.
