AI is inherently dangerous.

There is no morality in logic.

I have some bona fides in AI.

When I was a student at Boston College I had a brilliant philosophy professor and friend, Thomas J. Blakeley (RIP). His was a truly classical mind.

One of the many projects he worked on was assisting the development of an AI program for potential use on the school’s IBM main frame. When the project was in its design phase I was given the task of reviewing and commenting on its possible implications, uses and benefits.

After only several days of review my conclusion was the above. There is no morality in logic. Humanity is essentially a giant logic trap. Logic is an element of morality, not its essence. Being a Jesuit college morality meant something.

The department dropped AI project.

I strongly advise to be wary of anyone pushing AI. They have only one end state objective: killing people. Destruction of humanity.
