How about a computer that calculates the risk or the cost of behaviors we consider illegal, and bans everything above that risk level? What if feeding kids junk food and selling alcohol and speeding are equally punishable with jail time? That might be an example of a computer not taking the complicated factors of human society into account, or it might show that human society has a tendency to ignore dangerous behaviors we don't want to punish. Why is forcing us to live up to our own standards evil, but allowing certain people to suffer because we can't be bothered to do better "freedom"? Instead of worrying that "evil" computers will take over the world, maybe we should worry that they won't.

He makes a damn good point.
