Are The Dangers Of AI More Hazardous Than We Think?

Most of us are familiar with such blockbuster movie concepts perhaps best expressed by the early Terminator films which revolve around the notion of artificial intelligence (AI) "taking over" and ultimately wiping out humanity. While such movies are complete fiction, the dangers of AI are very real. And, if we listen to people such as Elon Musk and even Julian Assange, that danger is more urgent than even the most paranoid of us suspect. It is perhaps interesting that many who are critical of such claims of the need to regulate the spread of technologies around the planet usually have connections of one kind or another to the very big business that makes untold millions off the back of the sale, implementation and ultimate rolling out of such intelligence-based technologies. This tells us, does it not, that the collective interests of humanity is perhaps not at the top of the list of such big business corporations.
