Why the future of AI reminds me of the movie 'Arrival'

Just a few weeks ago, I read that the three top British AI companies to watch are Alphabet subsidiary DeepMind, cyber security firm DarkTrace and Blippar. Not sure why Blippar was on the list, it was after-all an augmented reality company. But what we can now say is that Blippar is in trouble -- it may not have gone to meet its maker, but it has met its administrators. I can see an argument that follows on from this which suggests that the future of AI is worrisome. After-all, there are clear parallels with boo.com.
