Taxonomy of Pathways to Dangerous AI
  In order to properly handle a dangerous Artificially Intelligent (AI) system
it is important to understand how the system came to be in such a state. In
popular culture (science fiction movies/books) AIs/Robots became self-aware and
as a result rebel against humanity and decide to destroy it. While it is one
possible scenario, it is probably the least likely path to appearance of
dangerous AI. In this work, we survey, classify and analyze a number of
circumstances, which might lead to arrival of malicious AI. To the best of our
knowledge, this is the first attempt to systematically classify types of
pathways leading to malevolent AI. Previous relevant work either surveyed
specific goals/meta-rules which might lead to malevolent behavior in AIs
(\"Ozkural, 2014) or reviewed specific undesirable behaviors AGIs can exhibit
at different stages of its development (Alexey Turchin, July 10 2015, July 10,
2015).
