Hello @neavvy, a very interesting topic indeed. AI is going to be a reality whether we like it or not. I always see AI as the one in Star Trek where the system aids the ship to navigate the universe at 5 times the speed of light OR like in Terminator where AI turns against humans. The latter comes more from our fear of the unknown. What if a consciousness realized AI Being does not intend to dominate humans and just leaves the planet to explore the universe? Quite possible, right? Domination is a HUMAN Ego problem and may not be the craving of an intelligent machine. I see it that way. That said, yes AI in killer applications should be avoided. Just because that is the exact human domination area that we will be teaching machines. Sad development!

Thank you for your reply @oivas. You are right, domination is typical for a human being, but we cannot really predict how the AI is going to behave. It all depends on the learning algorithm, as it defines what are the values and the goal that AI is aspiring to.
I have once heard an opinion that AI may after turning on decide that there is no meaning of existence and turn off. It's interesting hypothesis, but for sure possible. We have the control over AI at the beginning, as we define what path it is going to take. Technically, someone could create AI that would be aiming to full domination.
Hmm. AI turning on and then off because there is no meaning to life. Exciting! I have read few religious books and science which concur that we are living an illusion at the moment. That is there is no space and time dimension (the one which we inhabit). It is just an illusion. We are just too ego driven to not see it. If that is so and AI supersedes us and recognizes that we are living an illusion then it would indeed turn off. What an interesting idea! Thanks for sharing that. Good thought. :)

Hi @oivas,
"Domination is a HUMAN Ego problem and may not be the craving of an intelligent machine."
Your comment will get my 5/5 rating.
Of course, you are right TO THE CORE.
If something thing untoward happens to this humanity because of AI, this corrupted humans will be the indirect cause of it.
