AI is being developed and funded primarily by agencies such as DARPA, NSA, DOD
(plus MIC contractors). After all smart drones with independent untended
warfighting capabilities offer a significant military advantage to the side
that possesses them. This is a guarantee that the wrong kind of
super-intelligence will come out of the process... a super-intelligent machine
devoted to the killing of "enemy" human beings (+ opposing drones I suppose as
well)
This does not bode well for a benign super-intelligence outcome does it?

Bostrom says, "If humanity had been sane and had our act together globally, the
sensible course of action would be to postpone development of superintelligence
until we figured out how to do so safely. And then maybe wait another
generation or two just to make sure that we hadn't overlooked some flaw in our
reasoning. And then do it -- and reap immense benefit. Unfortunately, we do not
have the ability to pause."
But maybe he's forgotten the Dark Ages. I think ISIS is working
hard to produce a pause.
