The danger is not so much in AI being told to do bad things, but
that in
doing the good things it was told to do it uses unforseen methods
that
have disasterous consequences. It's like Henry Ford was told to
invent
fast, convenient personal transportation...and created traffic
jams and
global warming.

One could expect military applications, such as robots replacing human
infantry, their job to kill the enemy. So if their programming had a
flaw,
accidental or intentional, these AI infantry could start killing
indiscriminately.
Less likely than with human troops who have built in emotions of
revenge and retaliation.
It would be hard to stop them since they'd come with self defense
functions. AG
But we also know a lot more about their internal construction and
functions. We would probably even build in an Achilles heel.
