Bitcoin and AI Risk assesment discussion

[RodeoX]

The most frighting idea I have seen since the rise of bitcoin is that of combining it with the power of artificial intelligence. I will link the tread if I can find it later, but in maybe 2010-11, some one posited the idea of SKYNET. Taken form the movie the terminator "she" was an AI that had gone rouge. It's sci-fi, but what are the real risks of allowing AI the authority to spend money?


On the one hand it would be a boon in ease of commerce. Your fridge could buy milk when you need it, your car could drive itself to the mechanic and pay without your involvement. You could just load it's wallet and give the AI authority.  The machine internet, or IOT, could be buzzing with money just like the our internet. Machines buying, selling and managing their wallets while we stroll around in togas, free of time consuming tasks involving money. 
 
But what if a consciousness emerges? I don't know how likely it is, but there are a lot of scientists who study AI and consider it an actual risk at some point. Or what if someone created malicious code that sought only to survive? To use her money to make money mining and through automated services. Then spending the profits to grow. To buy server space, pay for code that provides additional functionality and perhaps gain computational dominance.  One can even envision a near future where on-demand 3D printing and assembly could see the network build herself into the real world. It may not take much "consciousness" to get the ball rolling.   

So what do you think? How much, if any, risk should be assigned to trusting artificial intelligence with money?

Blockchain and AI are two powerful technologies combining them would help improve the Blockchain technology and vise versa especially in the aspects of mining but it's also a dangerous tool in the hands of the wrong AI

i have been playing around with machines that activate when they see a transaction confirmed on a particular address. a few years ago it was fun seeing something happen just by making a payment.

a couple years ago i mentioned an idea that car dealerships would in the future just need to send a multi-output transaction to a car manufacturer. EG
(uk dealership)                (18" wheels red paint, leather seats, rest of car)
1UkD34l3r5h1pNo1234(4btc) -> 1F4ct0ry18inchWh33l5 (0.4)
                                                1F4ct0ryR3dp41ntw0rk (0.4)
                                                1F4ct0ryL34Th3r534t5 (0.4)
                                                1F4ct0ryR35t0fc4rc05t (2.8 )

where if you can read the addresses shows:
where the car needs to be self driven to when complete (uk dealership number 1234)
what customisations the car requested should have

imagine a factory where a machine activated mixing red paint when it received funds to
1F4ct0ryR3dp41ntw0rk (0.4)
and so on
and the the finished cars licence plate/chassis number was the transaction ID of such transaction

now imagine there was no car dealership needed. but the funding address was a address of the customer
sitting at home. that through an ID chain the factory could identify the customers home address.

take it one stage further. the customer didnt order the car. but the old cars onboard computer showed an error number
and triggered the replacement car.

AI does not need to be AS (artificial sentiants)
a computer does not need to show pain or 'feelings'. it just needs to show it can do anything without a human needing to press a button to make it do something.

EG a car breaks down
the human passenger just thinks that the car has stopped due to a red light at a crosswalk.
but the old car knows it stopped due to a error. the car has already ordered a replacement car. which would be self driven and arrive at the passengers house by the morning.

all the self processing has occured before the passenger realises what the holdup was not a red street light but a car fault

take it one stage further
not car, but a custom AR-15 rifle orders a replacement when a old rifle locks-up
