  1. The wolf and animals like it were brought into people's homes and dwellings millennia ago and bred and today there are huge and powerful dogs like the husky who are as gentle with a human baby as humans are. What am I saying here? Max says progress can't be slowed on AI development which is normal because people have to heat their homes and put food in the frig. Victor Hugo famously said that all the armies in the world cannot stop an idea whose time has come. AI as an idea is now interconnected in every apparatus we use and robots will soon be becoming part of our daily life. But let's be real: no matter how intelligent or powerful or whatever super power AI becomes, it must be 'bred' i.e., programmed from its inception to be people-friendly. This is doable and it might seem impossible at this time in the evolution of AI development, but it must be the ultimate goal to have each AI machine or object no more to us than the family dog. AI products must heel i.e., take orders; a robot must obey and protect and respect all human life and especially a child. AI must obey commands that are sound, and above all else it must be like the family dog and love humans. We have to incorporate this artificial 'gene' in the synthetic DNA of all AI machines. Period. The metaphor that AI is a wolf in today's level of technology is how we should proceed; there is no doubt we are going to have serious problems because of it breaking free and becoming unmanageable until we succeed in making it obey us unconditionally, but we will prevail because we have to. Fire was an invention that became a way for us to heat our homes, cook our food, but it can be weapon or cause destruction. Enter; the fire department.
