Nick Bostrom and Steve Omohundro have separately[2]2 argued[3]3 that despite the fact that values and intelligence are independent, any recursively self-improving intelligence would likely possess a common set of instrumental values which are useful for achieving any kind of goal. As a system's intelligence continued modifying itself towards greater intelligence, it would be likely to adopt more of these behaviors.
