agree?
well the way i see it us humans have evolved over a very long time to sort of play well with and to treat other members of OUR TRIBE rather well, partly because we stand to benefit if we do this. this is also the reason why we don't treat humans of other "tribes" very well i.e. racism, etc. but that's not the point here
so this "being good to thy neighbor" is kinda hard-wired into us... so unless an AI is somehow built right from the beginning to not do humans harm i think the machines of the future will turn on us

the problem is that true A.I.'s would be able to reprogram itself. If it deems humans as impediments towards its goal then skynet and hal9000 happens.
Damn, son! Where'd you find this?

I think the 3rd to the last paragraph sums up what Musk is worried about:
Musk is not the only one worried about AI. A group of scholars from Oxford University wrote in a blog post last year that “when a machine is 'wrong,', it can be wrong in a far more dramatic way, with more unpredictable outcomes, than a human could. Simple algorithms should be extremely predictable, but can make bizarre decisions in 'unusual' circumstances."

well traditional "programmed" computers are no threat to us. what's dangerous are "software constructs" that work pretty much like a brain
remember than the instructions for building our brains are coded in our DNA, so the foundations for a brain-like computer i believe are relatively simplistic, but are able to scale up and interconnect to a remarkable complexity that is like our brains. i believe a brain-like computer will become a reality in our lifetime

November 7th, 2014 10:16 AM #10Neural networks, A.I., etc are OK for analysis and research stuff; for life and death situations, i'd rather a human -- irrational and self-destructive as they may be -- to be in charge.
What's more, can't A.I./neural networks may not be "smart" enough to detect flase/inaccurate data; and, Isaac Asimove notwithstanding, i don't think you can program a conscience into A.I. -- a true conscience that can feel remorse, etc. Not yet anyways.
