Researchers Have Created A Psychopath AI Called 'Norman'

Artificial intelligence (AI) is all about creating the technology to improve the ways computers think and react, as well as how to make them help humans in certain tasks. While most attempts are made to create advancements of the technology to help humanity, researchers from MIT have undertaken opposite projects. The researchers went further by training an AI to become a psychopath, by exposing it only to images of violence and death. As a nod to one of the most famous psychopath in cinema, the researchers named it "Norman" after Norman Bates, and antagonist in the 1959 movie Psycho by Alfred Hitchcock. Norman started out just like any other AIs on any neural network.
