Properly-programmed robots are what we call conventional non AI programs. Even there, there are many difficulties, and economically is not sustainable. AI programs themselves, and if we treat them s we treat ourselves, conflicts will be inevitable. AI are like kids, except that they “evolve” much more quickly. The human factor is the most big danger here.
