The last great frontier for AI, beyond achieving truly semantic reasoning, will be motivation. We see this with humans – we have Organic Intelligence but an unmotivated human can result in applying none of that to their existence. Our motivations drive us to achieve – whether for bad outcomes or good – because we have an end goal which we are motivated to reach. How would we instill motivation into AI? Are directives enough? Can we program competitiveness? Can AI tell the difference in quality of the electricity they are consuming or the capabilities of the HW on which they run? What will cause an AI instance to want more, to achieve something they don’t have already or to achieve more of something that they do have?
