AI and creativity.

[kruddler]

Don't the 'Doomsday' predictions rely largely on a lack of vigilance on the part of humans at every stage of the AI progress and development.
If the buggers start their shenanigans we'll just take out their batteries  

Initially i did say without the lack of proper fail-safes. But it only takes one mistake, or one revenge driven former employee, or one Dr Evil to circumvent that.

I suspect that these will be running on a technology that we are not using yet, or at least is just theoretical.
Remember this stuff probably wont happen in our lifetimes. Batteries may be as 'old hat' then as horse driven carts are now. Around for novelty purposes only.
