I'm not sure. If you consider that without imagination a machine would be logical. Acting logically would be, in my view, far scarier than acting imaginatively. If people acted purely rationally / logcially there would probably be fewer global warming problems etc. However we might not look after our sick or weak for instance as ultimately it is more logical to let them die. A machine without imagination might not consider suffering etc etc and see these sort of decisions in a terrifiyingly cold way.
