In time, yes, first the claim will be robots have no bias.....
Yes and without the ability to discriminate, not racially but between right and wrong, they will follow instructions even if instructed to destroy their instructors, there is a potential for disaster once the ability is there and devices are in common use, I can imagine many scenarios and I'm sure our personal robots will be required to have a government mandated operating system that will be used to spy just like our laptops and cellphones...........can you imagine walking out of the grocery with your robot and when you say something about that dam dirty elected official and then your robot drops your groceries and hauls you in, or when a group amasses several hacked bots that appear to be operating properly even when pinged by the public monitoring system but are actually used for nefarious purposes.
AI is the big unknown factor, if machines are set up to learn from their surroundings including all that they see and hear as we do then it could get interesting because just as we learn rules and decide to break them so will anything with the ability to openly learn and act on thought based on learning's, maybe a second processor with control of the circuit breaker could be used to safeguard, but when a bot can think and do it can modify another so no physical safeguard will work if AI can truly think and learn then act, I know it's been the crux of many movies but the fear is justified because we think and learn and do and we are terrible at times.
