Actually I agree with this point of view. Isaac Asimov came up with the 3 rules of robotics. If this fail safe was actually in place in robots where they would have to literally kill themselves rather than to harm a human, then humans might be safe from artificial intelligence. Otherwise, a military robot (or a thousand or a million of them may just as well kill us all one day. This is completely realistic. And it wouldn't have to be like a walking man or woman robot, it could also be an air land or sea drone just as easily that extincts all mankind one by one. IF you haven't thought about this before you should because it is coming. So, safety precautions have to be in place otherwise we are all toast at some point.

Stephen Hawking warns artificial intelligence could be disastrous for humanity
X
In his address, Hawking, a long-time critic of unchecked and poorly considered advances in the area, warned, "The rise of powerful AI will be either the best, or the worst thing, ever to happen to humanity."

He indicated that while it may, "finally eradicate disease and poverty," it could, "also bring dangers, like powerful autonomous weapons, or new ways for the few to oppress the many."
Further, said Hawking, "...in the future, AI could develop a will of its own -– a will that is in conflict with ours." He indicated that while it may, "finally eradicate disease and poverty," it could, "also bring dangers, like powerful autonomous weapons, or new ways for the few to oppress the many."
The astrophysicist applauded the establishment of the Cambridge AI center, noting, "We spend a great deal of time studying history, which, let's face it, is mostly the history of stupidity ... so it is a welcome change that people are studying instead the future of intelligence."
