Friendly AI are machines that have been designed from the beginning to minimize risks and to make choices that benefit humans. [[Eliezer Yudkowsky]], who coined the term, argues that developing friendly AI should be a higher research priority: it may require a large investment and it must be completed before AI becomes an existential risk.{{Sfnp|Yudkowsky|2008}}

Machines with intelligence have the potential to use their intelligence to make ethical decisions. The field of machine ethics provides machines with ethical principles and procedures for resolving ethical dilemmas.{{Sfnp|Anderson|Anderson|2011}}
The field of machine ethics is also called computational morality,{{Sfnp|Anderson|Anderson|2011}}
and was founded at an [[AAAI]] symposium in 2005.{{Sfnp|AAAI|2014}}

Other approaches include [[Wendell Wallach]]'s "artificial moral agents"{{Sfnp|Wallach|2010}} and [[Stuart J. Russell]]'s [[Human Compatible#Russell's three principles|three principles]] for developing provably beneficial machines.{{Sfnp|Russell|2019|p=173}}
