DCs´ 2017 Trend #5 Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence

Autonomous cars, industry 4.0, are giving us the updating in Isaac Asimov´s robot rules
1.A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2-A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
But Are we SURE enough that -at least- these three statements will be comply by the AI  equipment that has a "machine learning"?

As we have seen in the cinema´s movies exist several issues that the mankind will have to pay attention to avoid that the "machines" learn to much and then will waste the humans -with all our weaknesses-

We can not deny that AI & machine learning have advanced the last few years and this 2017 will keep on. So DCs will have to storage , compute & connect all the information from all of those intelligent devices.

But if everything can be substitute by a robot -machine- what will happen indeed with the humans in the next 50-60 years? This more than a trend -not stoppable by the way- is a ethics situation that societies will have to face very soon.   

Or what do you think?
