    Wouldn’t be worried about AI taking over. They have no reason to. All our fears are human related. It is what we would do with that intelligence. AI is different. The deadly sins of pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth that is behind humanity at its worst would not apply to AI i don’t think. I can’t see AI having the ambition to be rich. It wont have a fear of foreigners. It won’t believe in some god in heaven. If AI gets to the stage of self awareness then i believe it will be intelligent enough to not make the same mistakes as man.

    The fear is when the AI gets so far as to convert to Islam

    Get it to predict our next government. That’d stump it.
