The concept of instrumental convergence, which posits that advanced AI systems will develop similar intermediate goals regardless of their ultimate objectives, is argued to be incoherent. This perspective suggests that the presumed convergence on goals like self-preservation or resource acquisition is not a necessary outcome of AI development. Instead, the specific instrumental goals of an AI will likely be highly dependent on its unique architecture, training data, and ultimate objective function. AI
