Low-level, "utility" AIs will gradually diffuse and integrate into
our economy pretty soon. In fact it already started (with robotics
in manufacturing etc). Before someone creates a seed (autonomous) AI,
we'll already have a lot of utility AIs that are not sentient and
will simple do what it's told, doing everything imaginable and
including security solutions. I find the whole idea about sentient
AIs rather redundant and similar to reproductive cloning, some kind
of curiosity.
