The genie doesn\u2019t know good from evil\u2014it simply delivers what we seek, served with heaping helpings of unforeseen consequences. It&#8217;s as if we\u2019ve been handed a child-proofed hand grenade as an early Christmas gift.<\/p>\n<p>For those of you holding onto sweet notions of self-driving cars helping humanity, or AI curating personalized playlists to the soundtrack of our lives, think again. It&#8217;s equally plausible that these machines overtake us in every realm of human activity\u2014which some might call mundane, or day-to-day drudgery.
