There is plenty reason to be glum. The first human-like AI developed will probably be by military and it is strong indication it would be used to kill humans.

Wouldn't that AI be used to stop killing civilians? Since we already kill plenty of people in war that's a step up.

  You can't stop killing civilians by developing a machine that kills people. I'm pretty sure some margin of error aka collateral damage, will be given to the machine.

    You might be able to kill less people for a given military objective though. Or even kill no people if the machine could take out hardware only.

      Perhaps, but still - having sentient killing machine is a horrible prospect.

        We already have 7 billion of these.

        They generally come with morality and concept of equality ;)

Personally I think the first "human-like" AI will be created to estimate stock valuations and that many copies of it will exist in virtual machines on the peripheries of exchanges.
