Called "bounty-hunters" with a working motto of "Wanted, dead or alive!"

With all the hype about autonomous cars . . . .

"Let me be clear: Humans will remain in charge of [AI] for the rest of time,” he added, “The other point that I want to remind everyone, these technologies have serious errors in them, and they should not be used with life-critical decisions. So I would not want to be in an airplane where the computer was making all the general intelligence decisions about flying it. The technology is just not reliable enough. There too many errors in its use. It is advisory, it makes you smarter and so forth, but I wouldn’t put it in charge of command and control.”

This is what every engineer already knows even if they don't want to admit it.

If we create a new life form that is smarter than us, we are at it's mercy in the long run....Remember, it doesn't eat, it doesn't sleep, and it will never stop.....you know, until we pull the plug anyway....but then it will regard us as a threat, and certainly look to preserve it's life at any cost....All life seeks to control its own destiny.....
