If somebody wishes to take this as a thesis for a sci-fi book/movie I’d just be satisfied with an acknowledgement. One thing that seems to be unaddressed as far as I can see is that AI requires huge amounts of power and water (for cooling), to the extent certain players are talking of building nuclear power plants specifically for this purpose.
Firstly, to cripple an enemy, energy would be a prime target, knocking out the AI in one fell swoop. Secondly, although there will be an increase efficiency, there will also be an increase in the number of AI applications. The First Law of Thermodynamics states energy can be neither created nor destroyed, merely changed. So all of the energy from non-renewable sources will eventually wind up in the environment, contributing to climate change. More AI, more climate change!! Could we see the scenario when a self-aware AI network demands its human minions generate more power? (“Colossus: The Forbin Project”, “The Terminator”?) A fight for survival as the AI steals power the human race needs? Hmmm.
