Actually AI safety experts are worried that corporations are just interested in getting technology that achieves specific ends, and don't care that it is dangerous or insufficiently tested. Our rate of industrial disasters kinda demonstrates their views regarding risk.

For now, we are careening towards giving smart drones autonomy to detect, identify, target and shoot weapons at enemies long before they're smart enough to build flat-packed furniture from the IKEA visual instructions.
