text: **Ethical machines and alignment**
  
  Friendly AI are machines that have been designed from the beginning to minimize risks and to make 
  choices that benefit humans. Eliezer Yudkowsky, who coined the term, argues that developing friendly AI 
  should be a higher research priority: it may require a large investment and it must be completed before AI 
  becomes an existential risk.[284] 
  
  Machines with intelligence have the potential to use their intelligence to make ethical decisions. The field 
  of machine ethics provides machines with ethical principles and procedures for resolving ethical 
  dilemmas.[285] The field of machine ethics is also called computational morality,[285] and was founded at 
  an AAAI symposium in 2005.[286] 
  
  Other approaches include Wendell Wallach's "artificial moral agents"[287] and Stuart J. Russell's three 
  principles for developing provably beneficial machines.[288]
