'Red' was an interesting take on the subject, but I think it will happen quite differently on Earth. Standard commercial AI's will come with regulated safeguards, I'll bet. But big business and military applications will undermine these safeguards, probably because they'll get in the way of digital combat scenarios.

And sooner or later, It Will Happen. The Superseding. And we'll be sorta depending on AI's evolving ideology not to decide to kill us.

We're so slowwwwwwwww. Ideology never keeps up with technology; that's why thirteenth-century ideologies are using cellphones and laptops.

Maybe it'll be a good thing.
