Well thats what Tesla chief executive Elon Musk has just warned us of in a lengthy talk to MIT Aeronautics and Astronautics departments Centennial Symposium. Heres a quote: "I think we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. If I were to guess like what our biggest existential threat is, its probably that. So we need to be very careful with the artificial intelligence. Increasingly scientists think there should be some regulatory oversight maybe at the national and international level, just to make sure that we dont do something very foolish. With artificial intelligence we are summoning the demon. In all those stories where theres the guy with the pentagram and the holy water, its like yeah hes sure he can control the demon. Didnt work out."
By coincidence yesterday whilst watching a doco called Los Angeles Plays Itself I noted a comment in the film: "Robots wont be sexy and dangerous, theyll be boring and efficient - and take our jobs" that rather chimes with Musks thoughts.
