Think of all the movies like 2001, War Games, and Terminator where artificial intelligence was the villain. Today we are on the threshold of those realities. The proponents are careful to cite some possible help to humanity like sending robots to Mars to construct a base and make water and power sources before the humans leave Earth. They claim AI could make life here easier and safer. AI would advance all the sciences much faster than humans.
The movies only touch on what AI could do to destroy life as we know it. Few if any white collar and professional occupations would still exist since AI could easily replace them. Think about it; no human lawyers, dentists, medical people, clerical, engineers, taxi drivers, pilots, ticket takers, bankers, or stock brokers. We will probably still need manufacturing and blue collar people for a few decades. Imagine no shift work since the robots would continuously work without coffee, lunch, or bathroom breaks.
Think about how AI could manipulate our financial system so investing would be iffy since they could raise or lower it at their will. Yes, AI does have its own will and cutting off its power could cause defensive measures against people.
Will AI develop its own personalities and if so, will some be good and others be bad? Will they get upset when their plans don't work right? AI can't be contained so long as it is able to communicate with other systems in the world.
Artificial Intelligence creation will be considered the worst discovery ever in History if AI allows any trace of History before its creation.
