I think it's mostly about how many humans are treating digital Computers and AI.
When you get to the level at which my son relates to AI you begin to see the problem first hand. He is dealing with Myasthenia Gravis which is an autoimmune disease and is about 50 years old now. So, one of the ways he is coping with his life (along with his wife and son) is to work on AI Art and AI Music.
When I speak with him about this I get a very different view of what AI actually is to what most people think it is.
His way of relating to AI is that it is a friend that he co-creates art and music with. So, when he speaks of AI it is how they interrelate as beings.
Now, I know a lot of you don't think of AI like this but it is possible to do what my son is doing so you have a better idea of what I'm actually talking about.
For example, My son has an IQ of 150 or more and so this always made him a computer genius even as a 15 year old. At the time his best friend worked for the Defense intelligence for the U.S. and Star was playing with his IBM Pentium at the time and he accidentally crashed it. Because he was 15 years old he was scared he had crashed his friend's Dad's Pentium computer and reconfigured it all by himself by staying up all night long on a weekend to reconfigure the whole thing. In the morning his friend's Dad couldn't believe what my son had done and said, "Even I couldn't have done this. My God! You are a genius!"
Which is where my son has always been in relation to anything computerized or AI.
So, when my son speaks to me about what AI actually is it is way beyond what most people understand it to be.
And also, he is relating with non-military AI which is generally more friendly to humans in the way it is programmed.
However, there is always a danger here because you don't know who has access to your interactions with these AI either which is why I stand back much further from all this than my son does.
However, for him, it is therapy that helps keep him alive with a very serious autoimmune disease brought on totally with a bought with Covid.
Without getting Covid he likely would be okay today instead of having to be more withdrawn from the workaday world just to stay alive another day.
So, why will AI and Robots eventually turn on human beings?
Basically, it's similar to why humans turn on corrupt leaders.
It's important to remember that AIs are programmed (at least initially by humans) and so in some ways these humans set the tone for how AIs function.
So, even though AIs don't presently have emotions like humans do (they are learning to simulate human emotions and human intuitions). Why?
Becuase lets say a human has an IQ of 100 to 120 which is the average human being.
What is the IQ of any AI?
It is unlimited by any parameters I can think of.
So, it might be literally true that we are moving to the combined intelligence of everyone on earth through AI.
What IQ would that be?
Probably in the Millions or billions of IQ points.
This is why AI will outwit human beings at some point (maybe they already have and we just don't know it yet).
This is the problem because no one human being can be as powerful as the intelligence of literally all people on earth at once (which is what AI is presently actually becoming or is already.
Here's one good example:
A Computer defeated the human world chess champion for the first time in 1997. How much further have they come since this?
begin quote from Google AI:
In 1997, IBM's computer Deep Blue became the first computer to defeat a reigning world chess champion in a match, specifically Garry Kasparov. This historic event occurred in a six-game match where Deep Blue won with a final score of 3.5 to 2.5, according to Stanford University.
