Can we build AI without losing control over it? | Sam Harris

We're talking about a distant future where AI is far more smart than us, has a mind of its own and has its own interests.

No one worried about Einstein going on a killing spree and he had a working body. Certainly no one contemplates the possibility of Stephen Hawking doing it. He's a brain in a wheel chair. Or to use Sam Harris's example, John von Neumann. We each have our own interests, our own mind and some of us are smarter than others. So? What's going to happen?
