The rise of greedy robots

Given the impressive advancement of machine intelligence in recent years, many people have been speculating on what the future holds when it comes to the power and roles of robots in our society. Some have even called for regulation of machine intelligence before it's too late. My take on this issue is that there is no need to speculate – machine intelligence is already here, with greedy robots already dominating our lives. The problem with talking about artificial intelligence is that it creates an inflated expectation of machines that would be completely human-like – we won't have true artificial intelligence until we can create machines that are indistinguishable from humans. While the goal of mimicking human intelligence is certainly interesting, it is clear that we are very far from achieving it.
