There was a Japanese manga that took a unique slant on the "safe AI" concept. The series was called "Grey" and it was set in a post nuclear apocalypse world. What caused the nuclear apocalypse? Funny story there....
The human race created the first true A.I., named Toy. Toy was created to serve humanity and in fact given a directive to serge humanity and act in its interests. So that would make her safe, right? Yeah, funny story there...
Toy was activated and her firsdt thought was the question "Why?"
Why did humans destroy the ecosystem that kept them alive? Why did humans fight wars constantly? Why did they create weapons of mass destruction?
Toy then analyzed her questions and came to as very simple, logical conclusion: They human race clearly wanted to end itself.
Now remember that directive to serve humanity? You can see where this is going, right? So yeah that's why the story was set in a post nuclear apocalypse.
So you know even if we do impose some contraint on an A.I.it might work out in a way we can't forsee.
One thing is certain: intelligence is the most powerful force on earth. It made a physically weak primate offshoot the dominant species on earth. To create an intelligence greater than humanity will be the most powerful, and dangerous, achievement humanity ever attains. It will create possibilities beyond our ability to predict. We must face the fact it may also create unimaginable dangers too.
