The short to medium term concerns mostly come down to human problems. AI and robotics have a multiplicative affect like other technologies, but the problems still originate in the primate nature of humans.
The long term issue that many people don't seem willing to mention out loud is that we will eventually make humanity obsolete and robots will literally take control.
The only real solution to the threat of militarization of AI and robotics might be to create a more unified global government and culture. The first challenge is for people to see that as a worthy goal.
Sometimes I think most of our problems come down to not being on the same page. And I wonder if somehow in the future we gradually become a tiny bit like The Borg.
So maybe we are headed towards a "meta-system transition" where we have some kind of direct links between groups of AI and humans that combine to form a more intelligent and effective organism in some way.
I guess I just came up with a Black Mirror episode concept.
