An AI cannot invent it's "primary goals" any more than people can. It can only invent secondary goals, instrumental goals, etc. Which of those it invents will depend upon both how intelligent it is and what it's primary goals are.

However, it is an unfortunate problem that most obvious sets of "primary goals" are dangerous. And most people are trying to build slaves rather than friends.

2) At least one of the questions is insanely difficult.
You have clearly picked the first parse, but I strongly suspect he meant the second parse.
