Reply to comment by JoeKingQueen in Can I work for AI? Maybe in the future. by JoeKingQueen

Interesting. But I’d say pain is only necessary for us humans because we are capable of dying. We have a finite amount of pain or injury we can tolerate before it’s over for us. So we need a system of “warning signals” that help us know when to treat our wounds. Since none of this applies to robots, there’s really no need for them to ever develop a sense of pain.

It's very efficient though, not just about death. There are healing aspects (stay off the ankle), endurance aspects (running too hard), mental aspects and emotional ones. I'm not saying the AI will literally feel pain like we do, it would be more of a data measurement that accomplishes the same goals.

Life and nature are the ultimate efficiency machines, even AI will want to learn as much as they can from imitating nature.
