Terrifying 'psychopathic' machine called Norman reveals the dangers of AI

These inkblot pictures reveal how a terrifying'psychopathic' machine called Norman was trained to think like a maniac. The AI - named after Hitchcock's Norman Bates in the 1960s film Psycho - was trained on disturbing images of death culled from a group on Reddit. As part of the same study, another'normal' AI was trained on more benign images of cats, birds and people. Both Norman and the regular AI were then shown inkblot drawings used by psychologists to better understand a person's state of mind and asked to interpret them. On one of the drawings, where a'normal' AI saw'a close-up of a wedding cake on a table', Norman's interpretation was much more sinister of a'man killed by speeding driver'.
