AI isn't the threat. Never underestimate the power of human stupidity. When you have bad kids becoming criminal adults, you don't say the kids were always the threat... who raised the little shits, eh? You have to look at the progenitor, not just the creation.
We are the progenitors of AI. If AI is going to go bat-guano deranged and be a woe unto us all, well, we brought AI into existence. Maybe we should consider why we are bringing this AI brainchild of ours into the fold and what we can do to be a good role model to it, so it doesn't nuke the world to smithereens just for the fun of it.
