Are you familiar with Robocop? Murphy had 4 basic rules installed: 1) serve the public trust 2) protect the innocent and 3) uphold the law, and a mysterious “fourth directive”

This is what I fear about AI - that it will diligently, unwaveringly and probably even creatively do the bidding of its masters.

All you need add to that is drones with guns and you’ve a nightmare scenario.

This reminds me of the very riveting book "Metamorphosis of prime intellect", in which,

- Spoiler warning -

an AI is programmed to obey Asimov's three laws. But due to a yet unknown quantum effect (this part is a bit far fetched) it basically gains god-like powers and virtually instantly distributes itself over the galaxy and eventually replaces the world with a virtual reality. That book was quite a ride. It's available for free: http://localroger.com/prime-intellect/mopiidx.html

Might be a good idea to put the link to the book before the spoiler warning ;)

Yet... There is a lot of research being done on just this to make unjammable drone swarms.
