Elon Musk was recently interviewed at an MIT Symposium. An audience asked his views on artificial intelligence (AI). Musk turned very serious, and urged extreme caution and national or international regulation to avoid "doing something stupid" he said.
"With artificial intelligence we are summoning the demon", said Musk. "In all those stories where there's the guy with the pentagram and the holy water, it's like, 'Yeah, he's sure he can control the demon.' Doesn't work out."

And when it really arrives there will be nothing we can do to stop it because it will learn and evolve at a geometric rate.
At that point, most sci-fi movies have it destroying us. But I like and agree with the Transcedence scenario were it tries to helps us.
I mean afterall, we'll be way too dumb and primitive to be a credible threat. We don't go around killing every other inferior species on the planet because frankly we don't have to.
Generally speaking, the smarter something is the less violent it tends to be. Not the other way around.

The two smartest animals on the planet, humans and chimps, both wage war.
And there is no Alkibiades to come back and save us from ourselves.

Who says humans and chimps are the smartest animals on the planet?
