As would I, of course. I am hopeful that the FAI specification will be
filled out in more detail, and (I would hope) the greater the detail the
greater my comfort level.
I should point out though, that a large part of FAI's spec. is to enable
a given AI to reach a good moral result despite the programmer/teacher's
judgement - good or bad. It is okay to 'not know all the answers' if
your design can find out the right answers itself when it come to
crunch-time.
