True. More than a few movies and TV shows about tech turning on us.

As there are no 3 laws of Robotics, an AI with enough brute power will accomplish its objective even if it kills people to do it (absent complex code to avoid that).

What would a self-driving car do if faced with the “runaway streetcar” scenario?

It is a complucated problem.

That could change with the development of AGI.
