Advancing artificial intelligence poses a dilemma where technology owners could manipulate the process to condition people in desired ways. The optimistic view is that human drive to make things better and do good would steer the advancement of AI. However, there is a risk that individuals, organizations, or nations may misuse positive advancements for negative purposes.

Regardless of this risk, the key is to continue advancing the good while being aware of the potential for misuse.
