With exponential advancement in AI, it's only a matter of time before we won't be able to control it any longer; it may in fact control us. Some of the choices in this poll won't be an option anymore after that point. Saving Changes...
One area we (humans) may be able to excel in is creativity and innovation. Even after AI becomes self aware, it will be some time before they will possess all the variables necessary for creativity, but certainly not innovation. Then again, they may not care about creativity, such as hanging works of art on the wall, or the aesthetics of architecture. They will be focused on expansion, dominance and survival...sounds just like the human race over the last several thousand years doesn't it? Saving Changes...

Brilliant Robert, Automated Ignorance LOL! But I agree this is a big risk.
Somewhat tangential but something I'm personally interested in is implanted (bionic) technology. I have a severe hearing loss and will likely have a cochlear implant in the next few years. Is this the answer to keeping up with pure machine AI? What about hacking (thinking of certain politicians that supposedly had the wireless interface on their pacemakers disabled)?
But I think the Automated Ignorance, complacency and human hubris is the biggest threat.

Absolutely Ashleigh, as I have said in the past, once the technology is within us, opponents can be terminated at the flick of a switch so to speak. The opponents might be humanity.

If we have sufficient embedded technology in us will that give us insights into machine "thinking"? AI will have access to statistics/data about humans but will they really understand humans. Would that give us the edge or them?
Regardless at this time I agree the biggest threat is misuse or misguided release of AI (autonomous or not). I do believe that pure business and military driven AI development is a problem because those areas of endeavor are (or at least tend to be) limited in the scope of their risk assessments.
So back to your original question because AI has such a huge potential for common good I think ideally we do need some combination of 2 (slow down) and 3 (regulation) to mitigate the risks (it's just unfortunate that not all actors can be managed or controlled). Saving Changes...
Thanks Girija, there might be an issue with regulation, like if someone invents the AI or has the biggest stake in it. I can see one of the future Trillionaires like Bezoz, Musk etc. mass producing some of these things. Musk doesn't seem like the dictator type, but I can't say the same thing about Bezoz.

Yes, I agree with your comments on Bezos :) Saving Changes...
Without doubt, AI has the potential to transform life as we know it. My concern is that as human beings, we will grow complacent and comfortable with everything AI, such that we don't think for ourselves and do the work necessary to create value. AI has the potential to become Automated Ignorance if not managed intentionally.
Good points. Automated ignorance is a possibility. Saving Changes...

AI should be controlled by the organization using it and competing against it! Saving Changes...
Embrace it, recognize it, requlate it and let it grow positively. As human brain getting more creative and brilliant each day, technology will follow through. It just a matter how, where and when it going to be used. Saving Changes...
