I get the feeling that AI is being created to keep us all in line, at home doing nothing, and collecting welfare money.
In other words, making the elite more powerful/wealthy.
While that is possible in the long future, I’m talking shorter range. Say, ten to fifteen years.
The elites are looking at AI as a means to make the decisions they want made, without the appearance of biasness. That means, when they designate a group for elimination it will be merited on whatever values they’ve decided to be a measure.

“We no longer live in a world of nations and ideologies, Mr. Beale. The world is a college of corporations, inexorably determined by the immutable bylaws of business. The world is a business, Mr. Beale. It has been since man crawled out of the slime. And our children will live, Mr. Beale, to see that perfect world in which there’s no war or famine, oppression or brutality — one vast and ecumenical holding company, for whom all men will work to serve a common profit, in which all men will hold a share of stock, all necessities provided, all anxieties tranquilized, all boredom amused.”
-Arthur Jensen, played by Ned Beatty (Network)
