[Hoot Gibson]

If AI destroys the human race, it will likely be because of a government has weaponized its use and made a coding error. Governments are inheritently evil organizations, if they exist long enough to fall under the control of evil people. AI is agnostic. I can't believe that a super intelligent AI would have a motive to destroy humanity when it could open up shop anywhere in the universe. 

I predict that AI will be widely used to mine the asteroid belt and manufacture products before shipping some of them back to Earth. For robots not requiring oxygen to survive, its seems like the asteroid belt would be the perfect base of operations for a super intelligent AI. Unfortunately, I will probably not survive long enough to say "I told you so!" to any skeptical BGR members. 

Another prediction - barring an early death, Elon Musk will become the closest thing to an immortal human in history by training an AI to have his basic personality, memories, and philosophy. He is the only person alive posessing the intelligence, resources, and desire to pursue such a goal.
