I look at AI as a continuum or evolution of software to do more for humans. Today, if you make a phone call and a computer operator picks up, the experience is not as nice as it could be. In 50 years, it may become indistinguishable from talking with a human. Similarly, a google search may become more intelligent. Facebook is already going this way with Project M. Calling a cab via uber may result in a software-driven car picking us up. There is no evidence this kind of intelligence will threaten humans. It's just a tool. Humans are in the business of solving problems, AI helps us solve problems. Killing us is not solving a problem

> Killing us is not solving a problem Weeeeeeelllllll... Killing "us" (defining "us" to be humans in general) could solve the problem (if it's a "problem" at this point) of humans over-consuming natural resources. It could also solve the "problem" of "these terrorists need to be killed" or "these infidels need to be killed" (depending on which side is the one using AI to kill things). While I don't believe these are the best solutions, they certainly are "solutions" to their respective problems nonetheless.
