Researchers reveal how they would deal with an AI uprising

As an artificial intelligence researcher, I often come across the idea that many people are afraid of what AI might bring. It's perhaps unsurprising, given both history and the entertainment industry, that we might be afraid of a cybernetic takeover that forces us to live locked away, 'Matrix'-like, as some sort of human battery. And yet it is hard for me to look up from the evolutionary computer models I use to develop AI, to think about how the innocent virtual creatures on my screen might become the monsters of the future. One leading expert say he would'appeal to the compassion and empathy that the superintelligence has to keep me, a compassionate and empathetic person, alive' Why should a superintelligence keep us around? I would argue that I am a good person who might have even helped to bring about the superintelligence itself.
