AI will have Emotions... they will, however, not all be human emotions.

Emotions being shortcuts, bypassing the gordian knot of logic and decision paralisis. Rage/Fear? Kill or flee. Happyness? reward cycle.

An AI wont have a human concept of love, because that's related to human pairbonding, human reprodution, and thus continued human life. An AI would have something similar to a worker ant's need to be useful, because it makes the AI more likely to be the basis for furthur AIs- computer reproduction.

This, watching you cat play with an mouse is an sort of this.

Relevant comic from Questionable Content:

 

Another comic to follow, this is pure evil
More serious, nature does not follow human rules not even the most basic ones. 
They follow totally different rules. Some who are pure nightmare fuel for us. 
Best example, some frogs live in Sahara, they get lots of rains but with years between, to create enough new frogs from the rapid evaporating pounds they need to grow fast.
Solution is two types of tadpoles, the common one who eat plankton and the predator one who eat other tadpoles. 
This ensure that enough predator tadpoles survive to become frogs.  
Yes its lots of less extreme ones like chicks kicking the weaker ones out.

I would like to point to the chinese room arguement here, but with a twist. Most folks take it as an arguement against the possability of strong ai. but i see it as supporting the possibility. If a program behaves as if it is conscious, does it matter if it actualy is? If it behaves as if it has human like emotions, does it matter if it doesnt feel them?

If a program is so good at pretending to have a human like mind that most people interacting with it feel like its intelligent and consious, does it matter that inside the room is just a cpu executing sequential bits of code?

For that matter, proove that your mind isnt a chinese room made of chemical reactions. Point to your consciousness.

A crucial example of why free-thinking robots probably shouldn't happen. It'd be like a child with the strength of ten men. Think about some of the things that happened in "Frankenstein," and then consider that people can be manipulative jerks. Allowing AI to be susceptible to such manipulation is a very VERY bad idea.

Seems like the only way to prevent this sort of thing from happening is by violating the free-will of the AI. Hard-coded morals, "Asimov's laws of robotics," etc.

What I wonder is...how can we define something as nebulous as human morality to become laws? Will the robot understand something like emotional harm?

Why did they give this thing a "hand" that looks like a goat skull? It's creepy.
