AI Experts Warn the UN About Killer Robots
US, Russia, China and other supers powers are in a silent competition of building various robotic weapons. Specially automatic weapons like satellites, submarines, drones etc. These weapons are extremely dangerous for the world. Worlds need to be aware of the automatic robotic weapons.
More than 100 robotics and artificial intelligence leaders
including US businessman Elon Musk are urging
the United Nations to take action against the dangers of autonomous weapons,
known as "killer robots."
"Lethal autonomous weapons threaten to become the third
revolution in warfare," warned the letter signed by 116 tech luminaries,
including Musk, the chief of Tesla, and Mustafa Suleiman,
cofounder of Google's DeepMind.
"Once developed, they will permit armed conflict to be
fought at a scale greater than ever, and at times scales faster than humans can
comprehend," the letter read.
"These can be weapons of terror, weapons that despots and
terrorists use against innocent populations, and weapons hacked to behave in
undesirable ways."
They added: "We do not have long to act. Once this
Pandora's box is opened, it will be hard to close."
A UN group focused on these types of weapons was set to meet
Monday, but it was canceled and postponed until November, according to the
international body's website.
In 2015, thousands of researchers and personalities launched an
appeal to ban "autonomous weapons."
Both Musk and well-known British astrophysicist Stephen Hawking regularly warn of the "dangers"
of artificial intelligence, citing in particular "robot killers."
