More than a thousand scientists, engineers and researchers signed a letter in which he warned of the dangers associated with the development of autonomous weapons systems.
Among the signatories of the message – the famous physicist and cosmologist Stephen Hawking, entrepreneur Elon Musk and co-founder of Apple Steve Wozniak.
They warn that the arms race, using artificial intelligence, can lead to unpredictable consequences.
At present, while there are increasing reports about the creation of new models of killer robots. Question about this discussion in the United Nations, which is considering the possibility of banning certain types of autonomous military systems.
Text of the letter published on the website of the Institute of the Hereafter, will be presented to delegates of the International Conference on Artificial Intelligence, held in Buenos Aires.
Stephen Hawking in an interview with BBC BBC in December last year expressed concern that the development of artificial intelligence can lead to the destruction of humanity.
“The man who is limited by the slow pace of biological evolution, unable to compete with artificial intelligence, and they will be surpassed,” – he said.
However, Eric Horvitz, head of research at of Microsoft, also signed a letter posted on its website video of the protection of other non-lethal methods of application of artificial intelligence.
“If you look at the benefits which have brought the use of computational methods in economics, health and other areas, it is enormous – he says. – With the development of artificial intelligence of great hopes, but there are dangers, and I believe that with proper monitoring human results are generally positive “.
