Stephen Hawking on AI: How scientist predicts robots could DESTROY humanity

Just as researchers make great strides in the advent of artificial intelligence (AI), Prof Hawkingt leaves behind plenty of warnings on machine-based learning humanity should still take notice of. While Prof Hawking admitted that AI could be used for good, he also stated that humans need to find a way to control it so that it does not become more powerful than us as "computers can, in theory, emulate human intelligence, and exceed it." Looking at the positives, Prof Hawking said AI could help undo some of the damage that humans have inflicted on the natural world, help beat disease and "transform" every aspect of society. But, there are negatives that come with it, he warned.
