RE: Will AI take over the world and enslave us?
You have to wonder what the machines will want
And that's a very salient point. Why would a super intelligent AI want to control us?
Do we want to control all the ants in the world? That's what we would be to them. We are not a threat, we are not food, they can't mate with us, so we would have no value to them.
Except.......
Being intelligent they would be curious. And we are somewhat contradictory. So I can imagine AI studying us in order to understand us, and probably getting very frustrated along the way ;-)
The problem may be if it perceives us as a threat. I don't think we are heading for The Matrix just yet, but we need to avoid racing into the unknown. We're doing that in other areas, such as how we are f**king up the planet
