The New York Times has an interesting article on the potential dangers of technology, and the ever-evolving relationship between humans and the tools they create.

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.
