Are you familiar with Robocop? Murphy had 4 basic rules installed: 1) serve the public trust 2) protect the innocent and 3) uphold the law, and a mysterious “fourth directive” This is what I fear about AI - that it will diligently, unwaveringly and probably even creatively do the bidding of its masters. All you need add to that is drones with guns and you’ve a nightmare scenario.

This reminds me of the very riveting book "Metamorphosis of prime intellect", in which, - Spoiler warning - an AI is programmed to obey Asimov's three laws. But due to a yet unknown quantum effect (this part is a bit far fetched) it basically gains god-like powers and virtually instantly distributes itself over the galaxy and eventually replaces the world with a virtual reality. That book was quite a ride. It's available for free: http://localroger.com/prime-intellect/mopiidx.html http://localroger.com/prime-intellect/mopiidx.html

  Might be a good idea to put the link to the book before the spoiler warning ;)
