Traditionally it is believed that a military AI will bring about the robot apocalypse. I think it is more likely is that game development will result in the homicidal AI that destroys us all. 4 reasons why:
1. Artificial Intelligences made for games are completely unregulated. No one is checking the dev team's work to make sure it wont hijack a nuke. Military AI's would be highly regulated because they are controlling dangerous weapons.
2. As we strive for ever more human like AI's, we create AI's with emotion, memory, and every other trait we associate with sentience. We teach the machine to think for itself as much as possible. Military AI's are designed only to take and carry out orders.
3. Video game AI's are always connected to the internet. If one ever got smart enough to hack the computer it was installed on it would be able to spread through the internet and infect billions of computers before we could do anything about it, probably before we would even knew about what was happening. We could never get rid of it without shutting down the internet and starting from scratch with new hardware. Military AI's would be isolated from the internet to prevent them being hacked.
4. Most video game AI's are created for one purpose: to kill its creators as effectively as possible.
