Human imperfection - Saving us from the machines
Doesn't sound much like the introduction to The Terminator, The Matrix or any other sci-fi dystopia, but listen to Elon Musk or the late Stephen Hawking discuss "the singularity" and it seems like these low-level activities would be a precursor to more dangerous and broader leaps that will eventually lead to technological servitude.
