Step 4: Define the Robot's Motivations

As we approach the age of sentient AI, we must consider what makes a robot tick.

• What drives a robot? Is it the quest for world domination, or something more mundane, like a desire for optimal coffee-to-deodorant ratios?
• Do our robots have feelings, or are they simply programmed to follow orders?
• Can we program a robot to be a good boy/girl, or will it just do what it wants?
