Humans are hard-wired to think about survival. You can see this from our fight-or-flight reaction which comes from the very primitive part of our brain. As we have evolved our cognitive rational brain, we can better control these reactions which are not always suited to our modern world. That is we see road rage because of our primitive thinking kicking in when in reality - we are not about to be eaten by a lion.

AI - although years away from that sort of sophistication - is very different as it doesn't have primitive emotion. However, we need to ensure that AI is built in a way that every decision it learns, is built on how to better serve the human race. It would be very dangerous to build an advanced AI with the deepest parameter was set to survival at all costs.
