Limits of automated machines equipped with artificial intelligence
Any intelligent machine is actually just a tool. A complex and autonomous tool that serves man to obtain all that is necessary for life, and only so.
In other words, the intelligent machine is built for a particular purpose, or, in other words, we humans build different machines for different purposes.
This limitation is more energetics, or else too many resources (time, human and financial resources) have to be invested to create an intelligent machine that meets many or too many purposes. It is much cheaper and we succeed in less time to build cars that only achieve one goal.
In practical life, it has proven to be effective to extent to the point that goal gains new dimensions and tends to become a general one, to improve even on new versions of the machines. Improvements allow machines to achieve other goals, but with an inaccurate or qualitative lack, greater than the imprecision or lack of qualities with which the first purpose for which the machine was originally designed was achieved.
At one point it becomes inefficient or self-supporting to extend the purposes for which we use any machine so that the new level of imprecision will lead to the machine's inability to achieve its purpose.
This is the first and the main reason why we should not really suppose a possible governance of the future robots. Even from the design phase, they will not be able to extend the number of uses indefinitely and will not be able to cover the full range of cases where they will have to respond autonomously to challenges, all the more if we refer to size plans or what not cosmic.
Neither we, the people, will be able to learn or expand our capabilities with no limitation. We are even physically and mentally limited compared to our needs for expansion and survival.
