Previous appends have stated that all values are learned. I believe that some are innate. For instance, the crudest form of the justice value "Why should I receive less than (s)he?" seems to exist in babies as soon as they can perceive and before anybody has tried to teach them. Any comments? How does this affect free will in AI? Regards, Manuel Alfonseca, ALFONSEC at EMDCCI11 Usual disclaimer: My opinions are my own.
