Wealth concentration could lead to eradication of the human race.

Greed will eat up the planet environmentally.

Artificial Intelligence Threat to Human Race

Technology will expedite human extinction disgracefully

Artificial Intelligence proponents want the State can give basic income to all citizens (to negate the impact of automation). This will take away pride of humans in their work.

AI might create a community of beggars.

AI is becoming smarter every day. It could become smarter than human beings – humans will become second class turning blessing into curse.
