But isn’t there a chance that these robots (and I think that is perhaps the wrong thing to call them) will learn fir themselves and over-ride commands given by humans.

I am not saying that all AI will be damaging. But that I needs to be very carefully regulated and controlled.

There is current evidence that using AI can pick up cancer on mammograms that are not detected by humans reviewing them and recently great advances have been made in colorectal cancer surgery due to the use of robotic technology which means the surgery is more effective, but less invasive.
