So if I am stating the obvious, and the already-much-discussed, please forgive me.
There are twin dangers with AI. There is obviously the Terminator scenario. That one has of course been much discussed.
But the other is that it is a force multiplier for HUMANS, because it is a THOUGHT multiplier. Used properly, it makes the possessor vastly more intelligent. It also automates many things which might once have been done by fallible humans. You can give orders to robots which you know they will obey faithfully and diligently.
The world is filled with lunatics, and a great many of them ride their obsessions to great wealth and power. It is right and proper to fear technologies which make small groups disproportionately capable.
As with all weapons, one can hope that the good guys with AI can counterbalance the bad guys. Getting to the party early always has advantages, which dwindle as more and more join in.
