The scariest part of artificial intelligence applications taking over is the massive unemployment of nearly all workers (because the machines/programs implemented with AI) then you are left with no one having cash to pay for the services being automated.
Its the automation paradox. If it takes over and really does decimate the need for most workers you'll see some weird science fiction stuff take over, but not like robots which will take over, but people who will rule. A small class of individuals who can implement the stuff will be rich beyond measure, the rest who are note the second class of programmers and marginal users or performing services with the assistance of said AI implement programs. Then you will have 90% of everyone else be jobless/moneyless.
Possibly a poor class revolt...possibly some super communistic type situation..it'd be crazy.
It's a strange idea.
It's Skynet. But judgement day was supposed to be back in 97 so we missed that shit but just by inches...
I agree with Musk's general premise. I just don't think there's a practical way to organize an international alliance to oversee the development of AI. Just as a comparison, how long did it take to have even a toothless treaty signed regarding nukes after they were developed, 25 or 30 years? And nukes were an outright threat, not something that only tech geeks could truly comprehend. The Non Proliferation Treaty was the first step and still (was that late 60's?) it's a threat. And that's a more comprehensible instrument: figure out how to build bomb, figure how to deliver bomb, kill lots of people. Full stop. AI is looked upon as a benefit to mankind.
I think those developing it, beyond the people coding and developing hardware who are simply trying to solve a problem because that's their nature, think it will bring efficiency, solve world problems, etc.
I don't think it's a reason to put on a tin foil hat and sit in your parents basement or become one of those people on that reality show who builds survival bunkers but it's interesting. I do more so agree that it could displace income earners and cause social unrest. When machines started performing tasks on the assembly lines people also flipped out. See Detroit in the 60/70's (then with job migration).
I also think that instead of a socialist/Marxist revolution as the end result it could begin as that and end in more of a fascist/dictatorial government because in reality the Marxist revolutions that have occurred resulted in dictatorships or oligarchies than in true communism. I remember when I was 14/15 reading Marx and thinking why isn't the world like this. Communist utopia. Sounds great. It just turns into a shitstorm of dictators.
I'll leave with two words though: John Connor.
What is the need for artificial intelligence? As humans, why can't we be happy with where we're at? The only goal of humanity should be to get as many people as possible (of those alive) living enjoyable and happy lives.
I am in a way afraid of the future and will be reluctant to have kids. Technology is useful to the extent it does not change the social nature of humans. Smartphones, which are not nearly as useful as everyone pretends, have already had adverse consequences, and Google glasses will be much worse. The introduction of tablets and computers into elementary school classrooms is catastrophic for kids development (both socially and academically - kids gain creativity and critical thinking skills when they have to create their own games and their own fun, as has been done on the playground for decades). Artificial intelligence and the associated technology that will be introduced into society and schools, will have few benefits and many costs. For me, artificial intelligence is the end of the line.

If we created down syndrome artificial intelligence it would realize how stupid we all are an kill us. The second we created calculators we sealed our doom.
I think that AI machines will be made in the near future. These will be programmed as binary logic decision makers for menial jobs, such as driverless delivery cars, drones, answering receptionists for customer services, robotic farmers, robotic construction workers, robotic game players, etc. etc.
These AI machines will be solely based on logic algorithms. No emotion. No love, No anger, No fear, No jealousy, No compassion, No feelings whatsoever.

Remember in Season 5 of Entourage when the crew went to Joshua Tree with a bag of shrooms for guidance on whether or not to take the movie "Benji"? This reminds me of that.
On a HIGHLY related side note, Arnold said the premiere of the Terminator Genesis trailer is coming out today. Stay tuned.
I see AI having the same effect on the economy that the Industrial Revolution did. A shit ton of people will have to adapt and find new work, and what those jobs may be, I just don't know yet. History has shown us that gains in productivitt are usually a good thing, even if the initial result is massive unemployment.
At least that's the optimist in me. There's also the distinct possibility that Sky Net will kill everyone. I feel bad for my future kids (if I have kids). AI, proliferation of WMD's to smaller and less stable entities as technology improves, rising oceans, overpopulation, and $80 trillion in unfunded liabilities. My parents were lucky to only worry about the Soviets. At least they were a logical human entity that could never make a move because of mutually assured destruction.
