Beware Of The Robots

On Monday, April 21st, 2014 I posted that robots we are working on may one day render us extinct. Ironically enough only about two weeks later Stephen Hawking said, "it would be the "worst mistake in history" to dismiss the threat of artificial intelligence."



Now that was a cute video warning us much of the same thing. However, here is a documentary video (not so cute) on how the United States is building robot Armies...



Regarding my original post. I had concerns in mind that robots don't need water, air or food to survive. Also that time meant little to them as it does for us humans. What's 60 or 70 years to a machine that can be upgraded unlike us humans. As long as we humans control the kill switch we have nothing to fear. But what should happen if these machines found a way to circumvent our abilities to shut them down if they should become aggressive towards us?

Humorously speaking, it's rather interesting to note that Stephen Hawking & I seem to be in agreement within days apart regarding this same line of reasoning. Does that make me a genius too :-)

Oh here's one more video from U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)

Have sweet dreams
