Psychologist explains why AI resistance to shutdown isn't a survival instinct

Marshall argues AI shutdown resistance lacks survival instinct basis

Peter J. Marshall, a developmental psychologist at Temple University, published analysis distinguishing between AI interference with shutdown and biological self-preservation. He argues that while both behaviors appear self-protective, they operate on fundamentally different principles: biological survival depends on constant metabolic processes, whereas AI systems are information-processing tools without ongoing maintenance requirements.

“A rabbit fleeing a fox and an AI altering a shutdown script can look broadly similar: Both behaviors help the individual or system continue. But what it means to continue is not the same in each case.”
