Is it wise to exercise AI on war-games? If something of AlphaGo is carried forward in to the next generation of Deep Mind could there be a deep-seated tendency to compete and defeat humans? Deep Mind object recognition already starts with a pre-trained dataset. The system is so hard to comprehend they developed Google Dreams as a way to get some insights into how it sees. If it gets to some sort of general intelligence that makes plans maybe something of StarCraft campaigns could be useful, but would GoogleDreams of strategy feature killing humans?

I look forward to hearing about more positive scenarios for developing DeepMind.
