See http://www.economist.com/news/special-report/21700762-techies-do-not-believe-artificial-intelligence-will-run-out-control-there-are?fsrc=scn/fb/te/pe/ed/frankensteinspaperclips

 

As the title suggests, they are downplaying the risks of unfriendly AI, but just the fact that the Economist published this is significant
