During my regular daily browsing for techn news I stumbled upon an interesting article about industry leaders and scientists warning of the potential dangers of artificial intelligence – an article I would otherwise probably overlook was suddenly highly relevant due to my engagement in this course.
I agree that humankind needs to put serious thought into the possible implications of AI, yet at the same time I’m not really convinced that we will be able to stay in control for much longer once artificial intelligence surpasses our own. In that case we will have probably have to trust that the machines won’t enslave us like in the movie The Matrix and that they will hopefully not override Isaac Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics which are likely going to be implemented in one form or another.
