Yes good point, it can backfire on us. We are trying to create something that can lead to our destruction. Much fiction has used that theme. From Terminator to the Matrix.

The thing is, I think many military heads have also been watching and reading the same fiction and are using their bottomless budgets to fund the development of their dream weapons, without a thought for how it could go so horribly wrong. They seem to ignore the moral or the warning of such fiction.
Commercially also, businesses see the dollars and not the problems.
We seem to become mesmerised with challenge of, we can, to the detriment for any consideration as to why we perhaps should not.
Then there the unforeseen consequences that none of us can anticipate.
