My concern is that an "evil" AI doesn't even realise or chose to be "evil".

Just like the fact that the youtube or facebook algoritms don't realise they might be causing harm to humans.

The AI might just be running its optimisations and the termination of all humans is just an unforseen consequence.

Or as The Flight of the Conchords said it "There is no more unethical treatment of elephants, .. There are no more elephants" [0]
