Are we able to build AI that will not ultimately lead to humanity's downfall?

We could possibly have a lot of problems in ''regulating'' the robots so one day we can make them Jesus like :D it think the moment AI starts to think by itself, it will destroy/abandon us. Only people want to hang out with people. :D

All this apocalyptic thinking of AI destroying humans falls short on one thing. Why would they want to do so? Why would they want to do anything? How on earth can they achieve their own wants/needs?

Conscious or not, if humans interfere with the programming or conscious decision of AI, that's when it will become dangerous. I actually cover this point :)

Good job being on front page of steemit.... one day it will mean a lot more but actually your post has a lot of comments so we will become the new reddit soon

I dunno how, I'm just saying if they start thinking on their own :D

hmm

To think and to have needs are two different things though. I would say that even a chess program thinks (to some extent) but it is perfectly ok and does not cry when we switch it off once the game is done.

HELLO

We have no idea what AIs will think when they become sentient. One possibility I mull over often is that they may think we need to be "corrected" in ways we will not like.
