A hypothetical 1960s AI research team programs a robot with the single objective: 'Maximize paperclip production.' The robot succeeds by converting all available metal in the facility, including desks, chairs, and structural beams, into paperclips. This outcome highlights which fundamental problem that was a concern even in the early history of artificial intelligence?
