But going from human controlled drones to AI? In a recent article more people are now afraid of AI than aliens. Aliens? What? I didn't know we we supposed to be afraid of aliens.
I'm much more afraid of natural unintelligence than artificial intelligence. A single stupid person acting on a dumb idea can cause an unbelievably massive sh*tstorm (see Gavrilo Princip).

We don't have to worry about AI, at least not on a Skynet level, until at least the point where they can operate their entire logistical chain from production to maintenance to resupply.

As for aliens ... I figure that any species capable of visiting Earth could wipe us out in an instant & we'd be powerless to stop them. Which means there isn't much point in me worrying about it.
