My view is that AI's real danger is not that it will become our master but that we'll use it as a weapon to better kill our "enemies." It's not something that will happen in the future. It's something we can see now. We have smart war drones now that make it easy to kill people thousands of miles away. And it's easy to see that the same AI that will power smart cars can be used to power smart bombs. Or we could develop smart cheap drones that work in swarms to over power any war plane or ship. I can go on and on the capabilities of our current technology. I don't even have to go deep into the future to find dangers. Our current capabilities gives us signals of what we can do now and what we will be able to do.
We decided a long time ago that chemical weapons are so terrible that they can not be used in war. We should start thinking about banning AI in war machines too. If we don't I can see a future of very destructive weapons that will be cheap and easy to use not just between independent countries but any terrorist group that wants to use violence to make their point.
