Heheh, I won't lie I love that show...
I'm not worried about AI at the moment. They're too simple and too constrained to become anything dangerous at the moment (at least in the runaway "Skynet" style). It's just the limitations of the current programming structure/hardware that's limiting them. No amount of current gen super computers or fancy GPU stacks can overcome that at the moment. So we'll see them learn to walk, make fake languages, and solve problems in creative ways because we tell them to. But sentience and/or complex thinking patterns/cognitive behavior/sentience without human direction is a bit away at the moment simply because our current hardware/programming can't support that type of process nor are we entirely sure how it should look at the moment.
Now that being said, great strives are being made in quantum computing and some very interesting hardware that could reshape the computer down to it's very transistors. That will probably make the hardware far more flexibility in how we can program it, Scientific American and Discover had some interesting articles on AI stuff in the last few months that were great reads in this regard.
This shit is just facinating to read... maybe in the future when the AI are sifting through our doomed species and our left over remnants of our self-imposed destruction that will chuckle at our fumbling around.
