Artificial Intelligence.
Watching sci fi movies about AI soldiers and machines taking over the world (Terminator), AI nannys who seduce husbands,computers taking over ( Space Odyssey (1968)- the iconic scene “Dave, put down the screwdriver”), (Hal, open the pod door), so knowing all these scenarios are possible, why would we ever invent AI at all? Oh, I know, because we think those are just science fiction and could never really happen. Us humans are too intelligent, too smart to let a computer take over. The hubris of our leaders is enormous. I have watched my wife fight with AI customer service over the phone and it is frustrating. I swear she will have a heart attack!
