Should we worry about the future of Artificial Intelligence?

The artificial intelligence can be described as a stuff which we are eager to get, but also worry to get. The success of AI is a symbol of the great process human made, that AI is undeniably bringing us into a new "century" of advance technology. Tracing through our history, there are many great inventions that had led the human to fulfill a spanning development. Nevertheless, nothing could be flawless. We made those instruments to lead us to the industrial revolution. However, the carbon released by them causing global warming. And, the most essential point is , the result of global warming is out of our control. Will that be the result of AI?

The action of human beings have unpredictable consequences. We cannot think of every possible situation that might happen in the future. Although we created AI robots, we do not know how the algorithm in the machine work, or whether it will change after a long time. That question can cause a serious result if it is true---whether the AI robot could "learn" by its own idea. Will the robots onset a rebellion to humans like the film?

We might believe the three laws of Robotics created by Asimov, but we are still not sure whether the AI could circumvent them. Although we have a switch--off button to shut down our mobile phone, the truly way to do that is actually turning off the power. If that happens on AI robots for military or secretary use, the result will be serious.

We have to also consider the risk of security. There are massive attacks made by hackers on websites. We created the Internet, but we do not know how to control it. So that problem might be more serious if AI involves.

There could be also some directly worries, such as job opportunities. The AI robots can obviously take many job places with much more effective performances than human does. But do we want to see more and more people becoming unemployed because of the appearance of AI?

So in the future, the problems of AI might be caused in unintended, unintelligible or intended but awful consequences. The risk is still there, and we might have to think about how to completely "control" our creations.
