When data becomes dangerous: Why Elon Musk is right and wrong about AI 7wData

Elon Musk is apparently worried about humans becoming subservient to artificially intelligent computers. I think the notion is a bit absurd. I'd argue the sci-fi nightmare more likely to become reality thanks to AI has to do with big-brother states and corporate manipulation of consumers' lives. I'd also argue that the likelihood of any of these scenarios coming true -- mine or Musk's -- has everything to do with the laws governing our personal data. To recap, Musk made the following comment Saturday on Twitter, referring to a forthcoming book called Superintelligence.
