Artificial Intelligence may not be taking over, but the use of it in some situations is still worrying.
War and terrorism has developed over the centuries hand-in-hand with whatever the latest advance in technology. We have gone from hurling a stone at an enemy from another tribe, through firing a wooden arrow from a bow, then throwing a sharpened bronze spear, then fire-hardened swords, then using gunpowder to speed up the flight of the missile, larger and larger explosions, Guy Fawkes stacking many barrels of gunpowder below the HoP, automatic weapons, armoured tanks, airborne bombs. Always the power and fatality increases, the delivery gets more efficiencient, the aggressor moves further and further from the danger of being personally involved.
Drones can deliver explosives or spray poisons remotely without risking the life of an operator. Spy devices can gather intelligence from miles up in the air. A whole war could be fought by Artificial Intelligence - information received by sensors, interpreted as potentially damaging, an attack triggered to neutralise the threat, carried out by unmanned craft travelling unseen to the heart of enemy territory and sending back evidence as they go. In return the attack could be detected by sensors and retaliation initiated by the same means.
The victims would be those who had nothing to do with setting up the AI systems - apart from allowing them to be legally installed (without realising exactly how they would operate) A gift to unscrupulous would-be world dominators capable of tweaking the system to their advantage! They might get a severely damaged world, but hey! they'd be top dog!
