I’m not worried about sentient machines. I’ve done a lot of work with AI over the past few years and we are no where close to anything sentient. It’s really just advanced search mechanism where the biggest danger with the tech it self is that dangers we misinterpret results and use them for something horrible. The real danger I see comes from ownership. ML is good at predicting things. Nano tech along with genetics will make you immortal and have near magical abilities, and currently only a handful of people will own these technologies. We are much closer to any cyberpunk dystopian than a robot revolution. In a way it’s always been like that with capitalism, if we don’t regulate the free market, then the free market turns people into slaves - and right now we’re letting the market regulate both society and tech.
