The idea of AI, as seen in the media, is a mirror for humanity -- not an external force.

I think a lot of the questions being asked in the media about "AI" are really questions about ourselves -- about humans and society -- that may not be relevant to machines for centuries.

I think some people are worried that humans will utilize AI as a means of escaping responsibility for their own human decisions... and ethical and/or moral shortcomings. So while this may not be relevant to/for machines, the machines would be doing the bidding of fallible humans.

That doesn't mean it's wrong now. Until AI develops to a complexity beyond our imagination (maybe centuries, probably much less), it will continue to reflect us. Therefore, the questions about how humans develop and utilize AI are the correct ones for our time.

Where do we draw the line between humans and machines, though?

I think this is a critical question to think about, especially if one is an engineer. Ultimately I fear AI-augmented human ability far more than I do “AI.”

And it’s already here in some forms - malicious bots and botnets, for example.

I agree. I wrote a long form piece about social risks from AI (writing as an engineer) that we face now, instead of the science fiction that is usually written about. It’s here if you’re interestedhttps://www.currentaffairs.org/2018/11/what-you-have-to-fear-from-artificial-intelligence …
