Ummm you know something is serious when the actual scientists and researchers are clamoring for regulation out of fear.

There are serious concerns any reasonable person should have about AI, like:

- Should we let a complex statistical test determine whether I am capable for a certain job?

And also unreasonable concerns like:

- Will machines rebel against their human overlords by abusing their power and end up enslaving the human race?

Regulations should be established so AI is used in an ethical way whenever its outcome will be used to affect the lifes of people. We should stop assuming that all concerns about AI are in the latter group.
