humble3d Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 A robot uprising ? Many people seem concerned that, with the advancement of technology, robots could become a danger to humanity. Professor Bess agrees a robot uprising is possible. ‘If what we mean by a robot “uprising” is the advent of machines endowed with human-level intelligence, capable of taking initiative on their own and making modifications to their own hardware and software, then I believe we should be very alarmed indeed,’ Professor Bess said. ‘We cannot yet know for sure whether such advanced machines can be created in the first place, because we do not yet clearly understand how human consciousness itself arises in the human body and brain and social context.’ ‘But if a day comes when this technical problem is surmounted, I believe such machines could pose a very grave danger to human society, because they will probably be very difficult to control, and their behavior will be very difficult to predict.’ ‘Creating machines that are so powerful and hard to control strikes me as a very bad idea.’ http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3701758/A-powerful-generation-X-Men-SUPERHUMANS-100-years-claims-expert.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
