At some point in the probably sooner-rather-than-later future, artificial intelligence (AI) robots will become so “smart” and advanced that they develop the capacity to kill off humanity, researchers are warning.Experts from the University of Oxford says that AI robots of the future will, in fact, be able to “kill everyone” if they so choose. And by that point, there would be no ability for humans to stop them.
These “superhuman” AI robots could appear before or by the end of the century, according to statements made to the United Kingdom’s Science and Technology Select Committee. And all countries currently involved with their development are immersed in a “literal arms race” to see who can unveil them the fastest.
Michael Osborne, a professor of machine learning, is calling for global regulation to stop tech firms from creating out-of-control AI system that threaten to “eliminat[e] the whole human race.” (Related: In 2017, the United Nations proposed “killer robot regulation” to prevent AI “terminator” robots from exterminating humans.)
“I think the bleak scenario is realistic because AI is attempting to bottle what makes humans special, that has led to humans completely changing the face of the Earth,” added Michael Cohen, a doctoral student, during the session.
“So if we’re able to capture that in technology then of course it’s going to pose just as much risk to us as we have posed to other species – the dodo is one example.”...<<<Read More>>>....
