Things that have never been called AI before are now being called AI.

Machines cannot do anything they were not programmed to do, until now. AI is in it's infancy. It is to dangerous to keep developing it. The original scientist pioneers in AI have stooped developing it further because of the very real danger of what it can do.

@Nitedoc We must indeed take the developers' warnings very seriously, but the systems are only "intelligent" in very crude, simple ways.
They work a bit like a computer chess-"player", comparing vast numbers of possible decisions and outcomes very rapidly, based on and forming "experience" which is little more than picking information that gives close matches within their programmed criteria. They are not infallible!
The computers still cannot do anything they were not told to do, by their human programmers, so perhaps it is not the programmes we should enquire into, but the identities and purposes of the people commissioning and writing the Artificial (Un)Intelligence applications.

@ArishMell I do agree with you. I like what you wrote. My problem is when we cross that line with AI to where the machines are sentient. When they do "think" independently beyond their programs. That will be the first time we couldn't control a machine. As I said AI is in it's very early stages now but it is growing rapidly. Do not assume only "good people" with good intensions are going to use AI once it's available. The bad guys want it for doing evil things too. Remember Nobel and his new invention, dynamite?
