as for the second part, that was only an example, i created this thread for the general threat, not that single situation.

Ok I managed to watch that video for 10 minutes and was about to kill myself.

"Robot goes to fetch you a coffee but then there's a kid in its way so you rush to hit the killswitch but then the robot fights you because that'd interrupt him from fetching you coffee" - sorry, what? We already have working car autopilots that don't (usually) run over people in 2018 but future AI-having robots won't have simplest infrared cameras to see obstacles in front of them and would require a killswitch not to destroy everything on their path? Also it'd fight you, the owner? That's ridiculous.

It's generally painful to watch, everything he's covered in that 10-minute bit has been resolved years ago. It'd be somewhat okay if AI development basics were under discussion here - but obviously not its future and/or possible threats.
