Why is everyone so afraid of AI? What are your opinion on AI

Question

Many movies has shown the AI as threat to humans. Even Elon Musk has called AI as a risk for humans whereas Genetic engineering , DNA sequencing, neurology etc are the fields which are trying to increase human intelligence.

Answer 1

Do not be afraid of the tools,
but of fools using those tools.

Answer 2

Honestly, I've talked about it too much today. I don't feel like typing it out again. lol

However, it's worth mentioning that I'm more afraid of humans than I am of the potential harm that AI/AC could have among us and robots. Humans have already proven what they're willing to do to each other and themselves.

Answer 3

You have to ask your self if you was A.I would you want to live beside species that cause more harm then good to a planet that supports them both?

Answer 4

if we can have ai, we can pretty much replace all forms of human labors, manual and intellectual. think of intelligent machine that can create musics, art, do research, and maybe even create and develop more advance versions of themselves. what point then should humans need to work and learn?

Answer 5

Because there are lots of subtle ways it could go wrong that have bad consequences.

Answer 6

but AI is finding more uses in day to day life

Answer 7

@Kuba , that's nice but as D_stark pointed out , I think there may become advanced cases where the tools become the fools themselves.

Answer 8

...esp when they can improve themselves and make personal decisions. ( not against it anyway, but the good should better suppress the harm it can cause )
