Isaac_Asimov in the early 1940s devised the Three_Laws_of_Robotics. Although not officially adhered to, the general concept remains.

The problem is in today's world, AI and robotics can be use to hunt, harm and kill people, albeit under limited circumstances. What happens if at a certain point, AI deduces that if some people decide that its OK to use AI & Robotics to kill humans, why can't AI kill all humans?

Perhaps some might even set others up to take the blame.

A.I. & Robotics can be great tools & devices for humanity. However, if people allow themselves to become totally taken over by A.I. control & management systems, don't expect it to be humane.
