Would you, for one, welcome our new AI overlords? Not at all. I have seen evidence that this concept has already failed our society. Large platforms such as social media networks, Darpa project platforms like Google and Facebook, Twitter, payment processing networks, e-commerce systems and more have already demonstrated beyond any shadow of doubt that automated systems, laziness and cooperation with governments lend themselves to the creation of dehumanized processes that leave people stranded via low quality machine learning without any recourse. People ask on HN weekly how to deal with being locked out of said platforms. If multiple data-centers of servers can't solve this then I do not foresee walking and talking AI overlords doing any better. I say walking and talking because they would have to physically move once people lose confidence in banks and e-commerce. Currently that is a small percentage of people but the lack of confidence is steadily growing outside of the tech bubble. Poorly regulated and ill thought out machine learning is already creeping into vehicles and homes. People have already lost control of how they heat their homes. Soon people will not be allowed to decide when they charge their EV's. People are already at risk of machines making fatal decisions and there are some cases where this may have already occurred but it is difficult to prove.
