Experts say prejudice towards others does not require a high level of cognitive ability and could easily be exhibited by artificially intelligent machines. These machines could teach each other the value of excluding others from outside their immediate group. The latest findings are based on computer simulations of how AIs, or virtual agents, form a group and interact with each other. Robot could teach themselves to be treat other forms of life - including humans - as less valuable than themselves, new research suggests.
