Pope Francis: Pray that robotics and AI always serve humankind

Pope Francis has invited Catholics around the world to pray that robotics and artificial intelligence will remain always at the service of human beings.

Can humans keep AI and robotics in check according to our needs, or will they eventually decide they do not need/want us? And of the humans keeping them in check, will they be ethical or capitalistic?

I’m reminded of the emergence of AI in William Gibson’s novels like Neuromancer whenever this topic comes up.
 
I don’t think Pope Francis is talking about take-over movie-plot scenarios like Terminator, or Colossus: The Forbin Project. More likely his concern is about people losing manufacturing jobs due to factory robotics, and people being manipulated by social-media feed algorithms. This is already happening, been going on for years.
