Intrinsic Motivation in Autonomous AI

Heuristic imperatives serve as intrinsic motivations for autonomous AI agents, allowing them to operate with defined objectives. This framework transitions the concept of core objective functions into a more accurate model that encourages AI to reduce suffering, increase prosperity, and enhance understanding. By synthesizing various scenarios, the AI can analyze complex situations that range from minor issues to large-scale problems. This approach aims to establish a methodology that ensures AI systems make decisions based on ethical considerations rather than merely fulfilling human desires.
