I think we are still a very long way from dangerous AI or "Skynet". However, machines are getting smarter at a very fast pace. Their only limitation now is their source of information (humans) and the fact that they can only do what they are programmed to do.
AI can help man move to the next level of civilisation but we have to be wary of deviant codes or malicious programming. You never can tell.
Great to see your comment @ulqu3
We are definetly far from skynet. But not so far from heavy unemployment which will skyrocket within next few years. Reality is that most people will not be able to adapt to fast changes in technology and they will be left behind. Jobless.
That's scary shit. dont you think?

This I agree with. A bit.
While many manual jobs will be taken over by machines and AI replaces humans in some industries, I believe new types of jobs will emerge.
Data input for machine learning
Code development
Agriculture
Environmental Sanitation
Supervisory roles
All in all, I'd say mankind is still about 200 years from mass unemployment. That is if we will allow ourselves be replaced. There will probably be laws that will dictate a maximum 50% AI workforce.
Hi @ulqu3
That's very optimistic measure. I believe that old generation wont keep up with technology advancement and those who are 40-50 years old (having some simple job) will have a big problem very soon.
Cheers buddy :)
