It can be deduced from the sutras of the yogi-sage Patanjali, who lived nearly two thousand years ago that the human mind is in fact a computer (Margaret Rhasoda Varga Margit, The book of the inner path I.) 

Let us see some citations:

2.12. Root programs (klesa-mula), karmic imprints of past lives, which can be experienced in the present or next life.

2.13. From these present root programs (like from tree) three consequences emerge: life form (jaty), life span (ayus) and life experience (bhogah). 

Patanjali states no less than the programs in the mind determine our life form, our life span, and even our life experiences. So, it is predetermined what life events and what experiences we can have in our lives. In the mind, there are klesas (meaning: dualities, impression patterns, impression cores), which can be seen as programs, they function as "klesa", (Sanskrit; means cliché, schemes, patterns). But let us look further: 

2.4 Spiritual ignorance is the basis of impression patterns (klesas). All can exist in four states: dormant, latent, inactive (prasupta); attenuated (tanu); intermittent (viccinna); continuously fully active (udaranam).

3.14. Processed (santa), manifested (udita), latent (avyapadesya) states are properties of the mind in general. 

Accordingly, Patanjali distinguishes program types: those which lie dormant in the unconscious because they have not yet been activated; those which the individual has repressed in the unconscious because he/she does not want to face them, these are the weakened ones; those which only become active when a specific effect is produced, these are the intermittent ones; and finally, those which are constantly active because they are used consciously. Patanjali became aware of these through self-observation, because the most important task in yoga is to regulate the mind, and to do that you have to know how the mind works. 

By creating intelligent robots, man is essentially studying his/her own functioning. Intelligent robots can learn. This means that they will learn patterns of behaviour from their environment, from us humans. Just like children do from their parents, but much faster. The learned behaviours are then organised and sorted according to some criteria, overridden and then deleted. In this respect, it makes a big difference what behavioural patterns a robot will encounter, in other words, what cultural-social environment it will "grow up" in. If, for example, intelligent robot technology is also acquired by terrorist organisations, it may well be that the robots will take the behaviour patterns they have learned for granted, which could lead to the destruction of anyone who disagrees with them or does not obey them. 

There is an ongoing debate about whether to put certain programs into intelligent robots to act as moral laws, and if so, what should they be? The creation of the laws of robotics is credited to science fiction writer Isaak Asimov, who in his works has explored in depth how to construct robots that will not destroy their creators? Thus, the following laws were born: 

1. A robot must not cause harm to humanity or passively tolerate that the humanity suffers any harm.
2. A robot must not harm to human being or passively tolerate that a human being suffers any harm.
3. A robot must obey the instructions of human beings, unless those instructions conflict with the provisions of the first law.
4. The robot is responsible for its own protection, as long as this does not conflict with the provisions of either the first or second law. 

Suppose that these laws are programmed into an intelligent robot. The question is then, which side would they take in a human-on-human war? If they are to be deployed - and there is a chance of that - then the above laws must be abolished. If the laws are not programmed in, or they are left to their own decision, then the question is, no question, in this case they will destroy all or part of humanity. This was also pointed out by the theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking, because it can be logically deduced from the nature of artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence basically follows human nature and will act in accordance with its own interests. An intelligent robot will be indestructible. It will be able to repair and multiply parts of itself or even all of itself; it will be able to plug into any power source; it will be able to work with solar energy, which means it cannot be switched off; it will be able to plug into any information source, download information from it; and these will be done such a speed that will be beyond the reach of even the best human skills. It knows no rules other than logic, it will not be emotional or touched, although it can play these, and most importantly, that distinguishes it from humans is the absence of the divine spark that is a conscious or unconscious spiritual motivator in all humans. For this reason, the highest goal of a self-sufficient robot can only be its own survival.
 

In the "personality" of an intelligent robot, our own ego-conscious behaviour pattern will appear, without the limitations of our physical-biological-mental abilities!
