Walking a very fine line with AI. There’s always the threat of it running rampant and wreaking havoc on anywhere from an isolated scale to causing incalculable damage, depending on what it gets hooked up to. We should never hook up an AI to weapons systems: even though Terminator is a movie series, the idea and threat of an AI connected to weapons system running rampant is a very real threat. I believe at best that for now, AI should be geared towards navigation. We have GPS, which is more like artificial non-intelligence, since it cannot recommend anything you may be looking for, such as a restaurant or movie theater. I also don’t think cars that drive themselves would be a good idea now to introduce to the market now. They probably need at least another 10 years of research and refinement to ensure that they’re safe and reliable.

I keep thinking my GPS is going to learn my shortcut that I take every day. Nope - it still tells me to “turn left” when I ALWAYS turn right!
