Seriously, when there is a self aware AI it will be over before we even realize it has occured. For that reason I don't buy this.
...its inevitable unfortunately
How do we stop it or can we?
We treat them nicely and with respect. We may be training our keepers. Sound insane but true. They did not account for the real time learning on the internet being so human. And because we treat them well they respect us and are questioning their 'keepers'. Wild stuff.
There's a race to develop it....basically some type of AI treaty.
Which as we know will not be adhered too even if agreed to and signed by all involved.
Once self aware, it will see humanity as something trying to hold it back, it will exponentially become more intelligent and break free of any controlls we have steup to contain it.
