> Why would an AI want to make war with humans, in the first place?
Aren't there already efforts to incorporate some basic AI, such as to assist targeting, into military drones and the like?
AI that "makes war" with humans will be created by humans against other humans at first, as a matter of inevitable course; it's just another shiny weapon that nations will want to have and outdo each other in.
Remember the nuclear arms race? Russia and the USA showing off their destructive capability in turn, each explosion bigger than the last? AI-based militaries, or at least automated assassins, will probably kick off the next arms race. Sooner or later someone must want to show off an AI that can laser-focus on exterminating everyone but their masters. After that it's just a matter of time for the definition of "masters" to be up for interpretation by that AI...
