#5 "Some days, when my sector is clear,
Which it's been now for many a year,
I'll take time to go scorch
On walls, with the blowtorch,
My portrait and 'Killbot was here.'"

#9 Everyone cites The Terminator and nobody cites I Robot. Robot are a long way from self consciousness IMHO.
In short they can't have 'competing goals' because they have no goals of their own. Any goals they have are from a human.
I'd be worried about misuse of intelegent robots by other humans.

#10 Intelligent AI robots capable of DESTROYING mankind

Because incompetent humans have been unable to do so for tens of thousands of years? They've certainly tried. Doing the job others can't do?

#13 I won't be the intelligent robots, it will be the ones whose parameters are decided by a socio-political committee.
