The world strives to go beyond their own capabilities to make machines help them out with various tasks.

It is the human brain that is responsible for the creation of technology that surpasses its own capabilities.

It is also the human brain that is responsible for misusing its own creations. 

If you put a gun in the hands of one who shall misuse it, is it the fault of the gun or the person who is holding it? In a similar manner, the AIs are given more power than they need to have. They will take over the world, it is not a question of ‘if’ but rather of ‘when’!

A counter-logic is mentioned when it comes to machines – you have the power to pull the plug whenever you want. The issue here, however, is that the purpose of an AI is to reproduce super intelligent humans, so if you have a way out then they will outsmart you. This feature helps to bring success in fields that humans have been unable to take part in, with otherwise impossible calculations and decision-making capacity. 

Being a human being is about birth and death. AIs are the removal of being able to live in a society and the desire of humans of immortality through these devices. We should give power to a machine only to the extent that they help us but not replace us. Unwittingly, people have been doing the latter.

Here is what Elon Musk explained why exactly AI is dangerous –

AIs would take our lives into being determined only by profits and losses. The cost of production to be reduced and for maximum utility may serve beneficial in the times of war. These machines cannot solve societal issues like poverty, being content with what one has, etc. but it economizes the society further. 

They are built to be smart. They are built to think beyond the capacity of even the most intelligent of people.

The fact that they are not living beings means that death cannot end their negative aspects and if something goes wrong then humankind will have to suffer the tyranny for always.
