It could be a great boon. If Apple even comes close to what they say Siri will be able to do, we’ll have a highly intelligent assistant that can use our apps and data to give us precisely what we want. Google will try to do the same thing, though it will be more difficult because of the number of Android platforms.

I see the real danger in AI as coming from capitalism. AI could be used to help all of us, but I fear that the most wealthy will use it to extract more from the rest of us.
