AI is not a biological agent, so if the environment is shaped according to its preferences, those preferences will be very different from ours. Jaan Tallinn points to temperature. AI would probably prefer a much hotter planet, since waste heat is easier to get rid of when the planet is hotter. The heat ultimately goes to space, and the hotter the body, the more intensely it radiates. Global warming, he says, is in some ways an example of this, on a toy scale compared to what AI could do.
