I don't see this being an issue because the way we train AIs will not produce general AIs but very focused ones, like Linus said.
We apply a very strong artificial selection to AIs, and as we do not expect cows and chickens to rise against us we shouldn't also expect an AI uprising.
What makes you think "we" will only build "focused ones"? What makes you believe Kim Yun Ill, Hassan bin Al Quida and Dr. Evil won't build their own A.I:s with completely different parameters.
Mostly for the reason why we build AIs. If you exclude academic interest all AIs are built to solve specific problems. And even then, almost all AI research assumes an AI optimized to solve something.
Yeah today but tomorrow the interest might be different. Most people that are on the naive street, like you seems to be, are confident that:
1. The A.I. will be developed and remain a general specific A.I and not evolve into some kind of Artificial Sentience "and it will be that way because if somebody made it differently I would be able to stop it".
2. The intelligence would remain "at about our level of intelligence and not greatly surpass it".
You don't have to know much about anything to realize that both arguments are absurd and non-applicable on the subject.
I'm not naive, I actually have academic and work experience with AIs. Doing a human like AI would literally be tying your hand behind your back, there is no point for a general AI when you can make one much better for your problem if you train one specifically for your problem, it's not something different from what mankind has been doing for millennia with domesticated animals.
We don't train general AIs NOW, but soon we'll need them, just look at Japan. The Geriatric crisis (too many elders, not enough young to care for them) is creating a cottage industry of care-taking robots. Right now those robots are very limited, to the point that I don't believe them to be that useful, but with the appropriate level of general AI, they might become very useful.
This kind of robotic AI is the ones we have to keep in check. Give them general AIs, but make sure they're friendly towards humans, even if this requires some kind of "Robot Rights Act", to ensure they don't feel threatened by humans.
