A founder of DeepMind says that AI programs will be good friends and counselors for human beings.

Is your idea of a good friend and counselor one that reports on everything about you to manipulative large companies and governments too? Not mine!

It is interesting that the interviewer presumes that AI-driven cars will be "autonomous" and that they will drive better than the ones humans drive. They are not at all autonomous — they depend on internet connections — and San Francisco already knows how badly they mess up in driving.

Perhaps they will drive well someday, when they understand as much about driving as humans do. But that is beyond today's technology.

The US airforce is testing versions of future AI-controlled armed drones to be used in air combat alongside human fighter pilots.

I hope the article errs in saying that this AI is similar to the erroneously labeled "AI" that operates today's bullshit generator language models, because if that is accurate we have no telling who it might fire at.

One of the dangers of AI-controlled devices that can do things with real physical effects — even if not armed — is that it may make clever inventions that could be fatal in ways that the AI would not understand, and that no human would be asked to check. This AI is already demonstrating that sort of creativity which is also potential danger. I recommend reading the book The Two Faces of Tomorrow, by James Hogan. See libgen.rs.
