It is a bit more complicated than that, as you know. A Friendly AI is
supposed to absorb the cognition humans use to grow and error-correct
their supergoals, not just the cognition bound up in a single human's
supergoal as it exists at a single time.
What word would I use? I'd say "Friendly AI", or if I wanted to get
technical, "CFAI-architecture Friendly AI". I mean, in the example
sentence above, do you really need to say "pre-programmed friendliness"
rather than just "Friendliness"?
I suppose you could have said "designed Friendly AI" instead of
"pre-programmed friendliness". But be careful; I'd still say that
"designed-in" is misrepresentative of CFAI-architecture FAI.
