RE: Would Artificial Intelligence replace us?
Personally I think AI could be either our salvation or the reason we go extinct.
Considering the learning curve and the sheer capacity of a real AI we really just have to hope that it's gonna be good-natured and not trying to eliminate us because if that were to happen we wouldn't stand the slightest chance.
For the taxes part I totally agree and not only the founder of Alibaba but also Bill Gates (the founder of Microsoft) suggested robots to pay taxes.

I support more the idea that they will be the reason we go extinct. The problem is that they may go like individuals. We have to take the Robot Rules from Aizuk Azimov for example...
The problems I see applying the Robot Rules is how do you really enforce them?
If you make something like an "unchangeable" part of its OS to be the Robot Rules and really consider every possibility how the robot may want to change this part you still can't be sure the robot won't find any way to bypass your restrictions not to change its source code. I mean... one AI would be able to do huge thinking operations that would take a human like millions of years in the fraction of a second. How do you believe to outsmart something like that beforehand?
And if you do restrict the AI so much that it really can't rewrite much of its own code you really don't have too much of an AI, do you? You could create a somewhat smart, helping robot but not something with an own consciousness and the ability to think on its own imho.
I guess you are right. It is kind of impossible as you said to outsmart them ... That's why I said that the humanity would never be the same as before...
