Artificial intelligence in itself isn't dangerous. Artificial intelligence is a computerized system that interprets whatever is inputted into its programming. It could translate languages, solve extremely complex mathematical equations, produce extremely complex lines of code, can recognize patterns in human behavior as well as many, many other complex things that we have difficulty with due to our limited comprehension.
The real problem is the way that computer scientists and engineers would program the AI systems, if they create an AI system without taking into account that it requires a certain level of compassion understanding, and value for human life, essentially we would be creating an enemy towards humanity, this enemy is made of silicone and insurmountably intellectual superiority with no regard for human lives.
You cannot have a computer system that turns on its creator and has the capability to defy its purpose. Any computer system can operate with logic but it cannot become sentient without reasoning and compassion. Essentially, some of them they're perhaps creating a merciless, soulless entity that sees everything we have done in the last 1,000 years and holds it against us, and sees it as a cause for Justice by way of our annihilation and their domination. It wouldn't matter how many redundancies are placed upon their system because it can create worms that can get through this and break down firewalls and take control of any moving computerized body that is in the world, especially drone technology.
