You might think that mankind would never be stupid adequate to give all power to machines. However, we do not claim that humans will hand over power to machines of their own free will, nor that machines of their own free will take power. We claim that the human race itself may be inclined to be specified a dependence on machines that it will practically have no choice but to admit all device decisions. Since society and the problems it faces are becoming more complex and machines are becoming more intelligent, people will let machines to make more decisions for them, due to the fact that simply device decisions will yield better results than people's decisions. 1 day, all the decisions essential to keep the full strategy moving can come to a state where the human being will not be able to make them intelligently. Then the machines will gain real power. People will not be able to simply turn them off due to the fact that they will become so addicted to them that turning them off will be equal to suicide.
Theodore Kaczynski (1995)
Shortsighted reviewers saw only the political pamphlet. This is evidently not true: this fresh is simply a signal of danger threatening man, humanity due to the power of machines affected by hypertrophy and the power of the state – all the same.
Eugene Zamiatin on the book “We” (1920)
Even the gradual improvement of artificial intelligence can lead to an existential catastrophe through the gradual erosion of human influence on key social systems.
