AI research is basically growing a whole bunch of different random aliens in a lab, and picking the ones that are really really good at doing a bunch of tasks. This process tends to find aliens that are really really competent at figuring out how to make stuff happen in the world, but it doesn’t especially tend to find aliens that care about being nice to humans and that will keeping caring about being nice as they get smarter and more powerful. At best it finds aliens who pretend to care about being nice to humans well enough that we don’t catch them, using the few tools we have for catching them thinking mean thoughts.
