The Economist surveys the current state of Artificial Intelligence in its latest issue. AIholds out exciting promise of vastly enhanced productivity, leading to accelerated economic growth, albeit with destruction of jobs that do not call for discerning human intervention.At the same time, it brims with the menace of total destruction — imagine a terrorist armed with do-it-yourself instructions on how to mass produce cultures of the Ebola virus or the anthrax bacteria, not to speak of AI that goes rogue and decides to wipe out these inferior intelligences that seek to control it and even terminate it. AI is indeed the demon lover incarnate.
