I don't think we need to worry about intelligent machines. A smartphone is fairly intelligent, for example, at doing what it does. Conscious machines, which (according to Bruno, at least) are possible, are another matter. The main difference being that conscious beings have their own objectives.
An interesting perspective. Does it go both ways? IS a being having its own objective necessarily conscious? And what exactly does it mean to have one's own objective? Is having children your own objective, or just the objective of your DNA? If we sent a conscious AI rover to Mars to explore, would exploration be its own objective?
