Wait, another danger of AI article? Yes, another one. Since far too many people and companies are ok with ignoring the dangers simply for the sake of the next big shiny thing, we thought we would at least be part of the awareness of it. I might also say “I told you so” when things do start to go sideways… ok I would not be that much of a jackass, but I do think that making sure to point out issues with new technology while others seem ok with glossing them over is a good idea.

If you are a fan of science fiction movies, then you have probably seen multiple movies where an AI (Artificial Intelligence) has gone mad and decided that humankind needed to be eradicated. Everything from the Terminator series, through to the Matrix warns us of the dangers of creating something that is smarter and more powerful than ourselves. Of course, these are works of fiction, but they do represent an understanding of humankind’s hubris when it comes to creating artificial intelligence.
