Controlling AI weapons may be impossible, warns former US secretary of state

AI arms control is all "fun and games" until someone accidentally recreates Skynet. When looking to the future we can't ignore the possibility of a potential artificial intelligence arms race as nations rush to outpace one another. That's exactly the sort of future that former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger is afraid of. Speaking last Thursday at a three-day event celebrating the opening of a new school of computing at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Kissinger warned that AI weapons might become harder to control than nuclear ones. Such systems will be developed in secrecy leading to a dangerous arms race, as Kissinger said according to MIT Tech Review, "With AI, the other side's ignorance is one of your best weapons--sharing will be much more difficult."
