No we're not bro. I think the fears of SkyNet / Terminator are overblown as long as enough human expertise is maintained specific to how these algorithms are created / updated / executed / secured so that enough human beings and not just a limited number truly understand the algorithms.

The danger of AI is really in NOT ENOUGH people understanding the algorithms, how they work, how to break/fix them etc..

We need far more STEM graduates with BRAINS to do so, than we have today. I'm working on a few AI projects at the bank and it's really interesting stuff. Some AI capabilities are built into the product I described for you two months ago (that I filed a patent for) as well.

AI is the future. Embrace it, learn it, don't be afraid of it. We have to control it. That's the challenge.

Ok.

So it’s only ME that’s so screwed.

I like your attitude but I have my reservations. How do you control something that is 5 times as smart as you and doubling its own intelligence every year or so? Assuming we ever get to that point, not saying we are anywhere near that now.

What is needed to control AI is the ability to turn it off if necessary. What worries me is that inevitably some dorks will argue that AI should have rights. If we have to have get a court order or have a trial to bring this stuff under control, then we are hosed. I know it sounds crazy, but in this day and age crazy things (such as men marrying men) have a way a way of becoming reality.
