I don't like the idea of artificial intelligence, I got a feeling will get screwed over in the near future.

A computer that will have a desire to take over the world is Science Fiction. Work like this pushes back the capabilities of what machines will be able to do in the future and is (in my eyes) therefore necessary.

Machines are not self aware (as humans are), they do not have desires (like taking over the world). They maybe be ale to simulate these needs (desires and feelings etc) but they are simulations. A computer may learn but it will not have a true desire for power or self preservation and therefore will not take over (SkyNet or iRobot style).

It might be time to worry when human life is extended through a direct link from the brain to computers, once human emotion is involved then we might see computers that want to take over the world.

All we need now is a picture of a cat sitting on a computer keyboard. Then its time to fear the computer.

That's German. Asimo (by Honda) is Japanese, but the program in that version is German.

Yeah, what happens when it learns humans are basically a parasite and a threat to nearly everything? Said computer could form a desire to protect itself from it's own eventual demise, hence Skynet people, Skynet.
