The Threat of Artificial Intelligence Weapons - Daily Times

All major powers are currently focusing on the development of autonomous weapon systems. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a technological breakthrough that would render the world unrecognisable as we know it today. Though the idea that machines would possess human-like cognitive capabilities might have sounded like science fiction in the past century, it has now transitioned to reality. Since its inception, Artificial Intelligence has drawn attention from a diverse number of fields and the concerned "researches and developments" are moving at a staggering pace. AI-powered smart assistants to advanced training simulations and even self-driving vehicles are a reality now.
