Artificial intelligence programs from movies like Smart House and Her may not be as far off into the future as we may think. Everything is becoming automated. Cars will be driving themselves in not too long from now. People will most likely start automating their homes. Ideally, every one's home intelligence will be the head of household. However, creating intelligence comes with some serious responsibility.
If something is self thinking and has its own thoughts, ideas, or even emotions, is it morally correct to shut it down if it becomes problematic? Even though a software is not a living breathing thing, it could still have experiences that come along with emotions like we do. We also run the risk of an artificial intelligence outsmarting its programmers. Thus, making it impossible to shut off even if we wanted to. It's a reasonable concern if it is connected to the Internet because the information available is endless on any subject. A program that had endless data gathering properties would be endlessly smarter than its creator due to the way it is programmed.
Honestly, i don't think artificial intelligence should be created at all. Our world is not ready for that. Many people can hardly keep up with the technology we have today let alone a self-thinking computer program. I don't even know what the purpose of it would be. I can't even think of a use for artificial intelligence, so i think it's best that we just not step into that territory.
