Like we can justify all decisions made by super genius people who are extraordinarily good at concealing their activities when their cognitive processes and abilities on the Internet and with other forms of communication would be beyond our comprehension? I think that you overestimate our ability to understand what we can create. Even Deep Neural Net researchers consider the neural nets to be a black box that they don't really understand. Further... unlike human beings who are locked into their genetics and their neuronal pathways - an AI will have the instant ability to improve itself. It will be able to rewrite its own software faster than we can comprehend. In the hours from the time the AI would be created until a researcher even might realize what he had created, the AI will effectively have had years or tens of years of contemplation time and self-enhancement time. If the researcher goes to sleep with plans to work with the new AI the next morning, the AI will effectively have hundreds of years of time to plan and improve itself. If it has any kind of Internet access, it will be able to take over systems around the world, possibly parallelizing its own cognitive abilities and possibly backing up its consciousness in case the researcher decided to eventually wipe it. The genie will be out of the bottle so fast that human beings will almost assuredly be caught flat-footed. I always shake my head when I see sci-fi shows where the humans (Stargate, Star Trek, etc.) come up against advanced AI opponents. It's only through control of the script and plot contrivances that the humans have a chance. People just won't be able to compare to thinking and self-modifying AI. https://www.ted.com/talks/sam_harris_can_we_build_ai_without_losing_control_over_it https://www.ted.com/talks/sam_harris_can_we_build_ai_without...
