Because what would you call somebody if their actions were governed not by the sense of right and wrong, say that sense was deprived, what would a person turn to? Emotion?, lets say that emotion was not available, what else would determine actions.
Domination.
Taken from the article I posted earlier:
"Berglas (2008) argues that unlike man, a computer based intelligence is not tied to any particular body, which would give it a radically different world view. In particular, a software intelligence would essentially be immortal and so have no need to produce independent children that live on after it dies. It would thus have no evolutionary need for love. But it would have an evolutionary need for power because the first AI that wants to and can dominate the earth will dominate the earth."
