I think this is a really important topic. There are a wide range of applications for machine learning. However, I always think we should stop and wonder if it really should be made. For example, imagine a world where algorithms are used to determine whether or not you are breaking the law. It could very easily become an everyone is guilty until proven innocent situation.
Exactly, there are many applications for AI that don't affect human relations and could help to lift living standards.
But messing up with human interactions - such as interviewing job applicants - is a disservice. It will create much more harm than good.
The Minority Report scenario you mentioned is way too scary, and I don't think many people realise how close we are to start seeing things happen on this direction...

I feel like I've read about some cases like this that already exist. This was the only example I could think of at the time. :)
