content: But the other side of the coin is this: With AI, a programmer may slightly change the valuation of one "moral" variable, and suddenly after recompiling, the AI decides that only humans with an IQ of 135+ should live for the betterment of AI and Humankind alike.    It may be the "right" decision, but it's not something a human would do.  As for AI automatically using weapons...do you think that the US or somebody is just going to connect Watson to a few JDAM bombs and start auto flying bombing UAV's  What better hacker than an AI?  If an AI went "rogue" ala Skynet and was connected to the internet it now has access to almost every computing system in the world.
