Consciousness, or self awareness is ultimately a highly developed way to achieve goals.  Reproduce, eat, and as consciousness becomes larger in different animals, be loved and find god.The various aspects of consciousness that the scientists (and commentators) posit appear to mirror ourselves.  What about the body and its complex cells, that react to environment?  What about the subconsciousness? (will an AI need an id and ego?) We all know from religion that creating something in 'god's image' does not lead to perfection.  I want to know, before the AI's are locked in cages waiting to be sent off to battle other AI's, what will the AI's want?  Consciousness does not exist 'just because' Every thought and feeling relates to desires, or the desire to have no desire.  The prime directive concept only functions if its like a locked box, and what happens if the AI figures out how to open that box? We are not perfect in any way, so what reason will our creation have to respect us?
