It seems to me that they are two types of Artificial Intelligence (A.I.): (1) Programmed Intelligence, the real-world AI that permeates our world and culture, and (2) Self-Aware Intelligence, the fictional AI that is portrayed in various forms of media. As the latter is non-existent, it would be a waste of resources to debate ethics about a near impossibility. Thus, Programmed Intelligence (what I will abbreviate as PI) should be the focus of any AI debate. Despite not trying to destroy the world and humanity, PI is still a threat and may lead to a passive destruction of humanity.
Programmed Intelligence (hopefully I coined this term first) is a form of Intelligence made by humans through programming, with varying levels of 'intelligence.' Examples of PI would be the programming in Furbies, electronic pets, and video games (single-player/co-op bots) among many other machines. Replacing pets with circuits would only enrage PETA, but the technology is moving on to 'replace' humans. One of the most impressive AI is from a part of Project Natal for the Xbox 360, a child by the name of "Milo:"
Now this video was apparently faked for the purpose of the demonstration, but don't be fooled, "Milo" is real and presumably can have 'human' conversations. Just like with electronic animals, children are being raised with AI technology that are as human-like as...well as...humans.
As you may already be appear, Nihon (Japan) is a large forerunner in AI technology. Japan has even made active camouflage! Luckily, they're as concerned about it as we are. There are various Japanese series that portray AI technology (the nonfictional, programmed kind). The most noted is an mange and anime series called 「Chobits」. This series portrays a near-future society where androids are slowly increasing presence. While the main focus is on a special android who appears to be more human compared to the others, in the background these androids are seen taking human jobs and, in some cases, love (or such situations anyway). This obviously raises many social concerns and questions within the series. The animation series can be legally seen for free on YouTube Shows, Hulu, and at FUNimation.
