How is AI getting dangerous for Humans?

Why don’t I kill you tonight?

-Artificial Intelligence

Robots have not occupied the world yet, but they have started to trouble us. Some days ago Amazon stated that they are improving a bug in there “AI” supported, personal assistant -“Alexa”, due to which the AI program connected with the home speaker laughs unnecessarily and gives strange responses. An Alexa user tweeted while he was asleep. Alexa emphasised loud laughs and said, "A good chance. Why don’t I kill you tonight?"
We should know that recently we have been warned by Professor Stephen Hawking and Industrialist Elon Musk that AI is dangerous for human civilisation. But other professionals have stated that robotic danger is being shown up. But these incidents have increased the fear among people.

Previous incidents

1.Two years ago, in a Texas show, the recently renowned robot Sophia was asked – “ whether she would like to eliminate humans. Please say no “ And then she replied “Ok, I will eliminate all humans.”. But it was not clear whether it was a joke or a technical fault.

2.A few years ago Microsoft created an AI chatbot "Tay" for twitter. But after some time it started giving strange reply like –

•“George W. Bush” was responsible for the 9/11 attack.

• Speak with me that Hitler didn’t do anything wrong.

Some time ago a user claimed that when he asked his google assistant that “What it likes about Alexa? It replied that it likes Alexa’s blue light. After this Alexa replied Thank you ” Creepy isn’t it.

It has also been seen when two AI programs are allowed to talk to each other, they start with gentle conversations but afterwards they start using abusive language.

The robot Sophia in point 1 is the same one who gained citizenship in Saudi Arabia in October 2017.
