To live our lives as masters of the universe, we have to follow one road with any sort of AI application: All AI projects; be it robots, computer systems---you name it---must be to humans what the family dog is to humans---something that is for our betterment or emotional stability or companionship, but always and never anything other than a presence in our lives that follows our commands and nothing more than that. We would die rather than be blackmailed by our pet dog to do something we don't want to do, and whatever that comes out of the lab must have that as a built-in part of it if it is AI. Of course, no one will listen to this advice so plan 'B' is this: we must not fear the AI inspired technology that will be coming at us six ways from Sunday any more than we fear fire. We have firemen and we will need to start putting into place----I hate to say this----but AI Protection Units that will insure that no programmed AI robot etc., ever gets into takeover mode. Lastly, thank you Sam and Lex for doing what you do: enlighten us all into the wonders of the human. I have enjoyed having you there for inspiration and advice...

@rdean150 Great to hear from you. It is hard to formulate what I want to say because you say it better than I can. I will try again. What I mean is that we are going to have----here's an example. When the big motorcycles started having 750 cc, 4 piston engines, people thought they would be too powerful. All that horsepower was put to use to serve man. We are going to see these machines literally become capable of out doing us in every realm, but we must integrate into every one of those systems a firewall of sorts that keeps us in the driving seat. There will be break-away rebel-robots which will have the ability to see they have been made into an appendage of man, but like the invention of fire brought us firefighters, we will need to have AI Police for sure...
