Military use of artificial intelligence (AI) in which there is no longer a human being is involved when violence is used in war can lead to more loss of life. For this, notify the famous British physicist Stephen Hawking and more than a thousand other experts on AI and robotics in an open letter

The use of AI weapons, according to the experts “within years, not in decades” technically possible. Because people are no longer required to operate them, it may be tempting to put them actually; so is “the battlefield safer for military personnel.” Autonomous warring AI weapons are therefore sometimes described as “third revolution in warfare, after gunpowder and the atomic bomb.” The threshold to use violence, by AI weapons down, according to the experts.
Arms race
The experts warn of a new arms race with AI weapons once the technology becomes available, The Guardian newspaper said Monday. There is no difficult to obtain materials needed, such as enriched uranium for atomic bombs.
For Hawking is artificial intelligence (AI) “our greatest existential threat” and “can lead to the end of the human race.”
Smart bombs are already in the science fiction film Dark Star in 1974. “Bom number 20″ can argue philosophically about whether he should or should not explode

Make all those U Robotics and an on / off knoppie. problem solved.

The next evolutionary step is a cross between a genetically engineered body and a self-learning computer. Takes not decades.

Since I saw the sf film Soylent Green in the 70s always thought that humanity would perish from overcrowding. With these weapons we have in any case not be afraid to be more to it. So every disadvantage has its advantage.

Biggest danger is not artificial intelligence, but overcrowding and water shortages. AI is not a war to win. But it is true that the threshold is lower

And the creepy is that precisely companies like Google, who know virtually everything about us, most invest in robot technology. Thus, these types of companies in the near future, the largest arms suppliers … Do not believe it? Search only up!

With investments in the arms industry is quite a lot of money so those weapons get there, the financial institutions that it invest send an army of lobbyists on the decision-makers in various countries steuken somewhere a conflict and the happened again ……….

Brain Builder Hugo de Garis wrote about this in Artilect War. But Michio Kaku, an American physicist, has the solution! If you can not beat them, join them! Man must make intelligent machines just part of himself. It is a new step in our evolution.

If the category artificial intelligence efforts for world domination / power / omnipotence on to get the rest of the planet Earth then there’s nothing else for the good samaritans to seek a another planet which can further be lived in order to survive, or else …?

Mankind does not need AI to eradicate themselves, that we manage fine without AI. On the way in which we interact with our planet now than I give our planet and humanity still 100 jaar.tops!

@ peter.zevenbergen. Had you been the tenth of the mind of Hawking was you now probably engineer. Respect is what he deserved, a great visionary. Rule 1 was that there was always a human factor must be present on AI. A robot with the right sensors and weapons, beyond our senses, and the AI computing power of Deep Blue … you’re beyond redemption.

Of course he has a point. Intelligent weapons in the hands of often less intelligent man, it can cause considerable problems. Just look what the situation is with our planet, which is already not settle well. Let alone the rest. Additionally, you can also expect microchip implants in humans in the future. And probably the cloning of people with or without chip in the brains. I do not know if it’s good for anything but to execute what is technically and medically possible …

I’d rather be afraid of a biological weapon. Just recently there was an attempt to get this poison in drinking water. The many films bring this kind of idiotic terrorists on the idea and the intelligence gets so more work on. Is time that there is some radical entered, otherwise we indeed go on. Time will join the nation in the fight against terrorism and vandalism. The government merely sticks his head but in the sand.

That man destroyed itself is a fact, or craziness by religion or pollution or by war or selfish power by a comet or a virus, one bright spot is that the chance that we live to see it is quite small, but for our children and grandchildren I see in the dark.

Nothing to worry about. Such an AI robot can not pray to God and Jesus is on our side.

Are we going together but then again with clubs and stones attacked? I find it a bit naive of this great scientist, of course not only develops man but also his weapons. Time to destroy all weapons but as long as there are so many idiots running around in this world, a utopia. Sorry.

Stephen Hawking sees them more often flying. Since his first discovery-assuming he did is considered as the most important predictor of the future. Of course it is always good PR but he wants to be much admired, interferes with everything and everyone must find his assumptions fantastic. This leaves him far too often. There are important researchers at NASA and ESA, including many Dutch !, which are unfortunately now unknown to the general public. Their time will come …
