The worry that AI might enslave or wipe out humanity is not new. But what about the corporations that already exist and prioritize profit over human values? These "profit robots" are largely autonomous from the human community and engage in intense lobbying and marketing to manipulate consumers. They actively work to bend human laws in their favor and often cause significant risks. The reasonable worry about AI is not that it takes control of the world, but that it provides even more powerful means for the misaligned robots that already exist.
