Impressed and alarmed by advances in artificial intelligence, a group of computer scientists is debating whether there should be limits on research that might lead to loss of human control over computer-based systems that carry a growing share of society’s workload, from waging war to chatting with customers on the phone.

Here is a novel idea: How about machine-run Ponzis??? Just think of the mouth-watering possibilities: from automated fictional statements generation, to empathy for the investors/victims (-I 've lost all my retirement money!! -Oh no, sorry to hear that")
