Google's AlphaGo recently defeated the Go grandmaster, Lee Se Dol, 4 to 1. The game Go is known for "requiring levels of human intuition and pattern recognition that should be beyond the powers of number-crunching computers," as said by IFLS, and the fact that an AI has surpassed such standards is bringing back the "Terminator" like fear of AI's outsmarting us outside of small tasks such as the game of Go.
With AI's on the rise, from self-driven cars, to the rising production of robots, the negative impact of AI's is often overlooked. Yes, they are brilliant. They can't process and fumble with endless amount of situations and strategies to find the best, but they lack emotions and morals. What's wrong with that? Well, if AI's are going to "take over" in the sense that they just become more prevalent due to the aid they provide, such as self-driven cars, looking into implementing ethics into their programming should be priority number one because I don't think anyone would want an emotionless thing in charge of their life.
