My goodness, it's so disconcerting that a poor man is dead because of this. Everything has consequences. Anyone who refuses to see that may be benefiting from it some way.
These systems have 'nobody home' within them. No common sense, no ego, no desires, fears, or anything else except statistical associations to work with. But real living organisms make models of their respective worlds- both the world beyond themselves and of their own internal states. Higher organisms also have 'theories of mind' allowing them to model the internal states of other individuals. So guiding these systems to create such models (and save them as reference points against which to weigh their actions) would be a good place to start. Context-sensitivity. Also a good point of departure would be something akin to a game-designer's 'physics engine', which makes game play seem more realistic. You don't shave with a wet noodle, or chew diamonds.
