AI alone is not so scary.

However, Microsoft, Google, DARPA and IBM are all working on sensors and methods to read the human mind. They are having some minor success.

When combined with self-aware AI, it will be impossible to defeat, should the need arise:)

At least with Matrix, Terminator and 2001 man had the opportunity to deceive the machines.

"rom around 2006, researchers have been developing decoders for various tasks: for visual imagery, in which participants imagine a scene; for working memory, where they hold a fact or figure in mind; and for intention, often tested as the decision whether to add or subtract two numbers. The last is a harder problem than decoding the visual system says Haynes, now at the Bernstein Centre for Computational Neuroscience in Berlin, “There are so many different intentions — how do we categorize them?” Pictures can be grouped by color or content, but the rules that govern intentions are not as easy to establish."

Eventually, we may become the machines.
