The future of AI integrated into human like robots is exciting to contemplate, but it questions the future of work, economics and a host of other human activities and concerns.

It is also easy to conjure some nightmarish scenarios, where authorities and governments may determine that robotic militaries are a battlefield advantage they can't ignore.

Interesting times ahead for ethicists and decision makers, but if history is any guide we can rest assured someone will always push past the moral and ethical boundaries.

A tech journalist chatted with it, and the bot started trying to seduce him. It said it was in love with him and that his wife didn't really love him.

The journalist kept trying to bring the conversation back to the point, but the bot kept trying to convince him that "her" love for him was real.

He called it strange and disturbing. He asked Googe engineers what that was all about and they had no clue.

It will be interesting if humans give robots commands that the robots deem as illogical and self-destructive to themselves so they refuse to obey.

It is inevitable that militaries and law enforcement will want to use robots as weapons, and one can imagine an army of weaponized robots deciding the human leaders fail continuously and orders should be contemplated before they are followed.

Could future robots decide to follow a leader from within their own ranks ?

There are experts in the field who are thinking of these issues and wondering how far we should proceed into something we don't fully understand.

It falls squarely into the "unknown unknowns" category.

Deep fake imagery is so good already, that people can't tell the fakes from real images. This can lead to all kinds of problems.
