SF Conundrum

Is it unethical to build an AI with Focus?

(Focus is a Vingean construct, an induced monomania. It doesn't take away free will, but it makes a particular subject the most interesting thing in the universe -- worse than that, nothing sufficiently far from the subject is interesting at all. ADHD hyperfocus on exactly one thing. Savantism.)
