Artificial Intelligence - Enemy Of The People Or Friend Of The Lazy And Inept?

In the future AI could develop a will of its own, a will that is in conflict with ours. These were some of the final words from the late, great Stephen Hawking that were published earlier this month when he warned about the consequences of unregulated artificial intelligence. Hawking also predicted the rise of the'superhuman' who will initially rely on AI and genetics and then eventually escape earth; hopefully to do a better job on a new planet than we have done to date on ours. It will be some time before superhuman are with us, but AI certainly is and it's completely transforming the world and how humans operate within it. This is not a episode of Black Mirror, these are the times we live in.
