You'd have to know the arguments for or against UFAI to even know what that means.

You just have to watch the Terminator movies, or the Matrix, or read almost any science fiction with robots in it. The UFness of AI is a default assumption in popular culture.

This is true. On the other hand, the default is for the AI to be both unfriendly and stupid. Notice, for example, the complete inability of the Matrix overlords to make their agents hit anything they're shooting at :-D
