UNI Global Union calls for the establishment of a global convention on ethical artificial intelligence

What will happen the day robots become smarter than humans? And are we ready for it? Sam Harris asks these two fundamental questions in this mindboggling ted talk. "Just think about how we relate to ants. We don't go out of our way to harm them. In fact, sometimes we take pains not to harm them. We step over them on the sidewalk. But whenever their presence seriously conflicts with one of our goals, let's say when constructing a building like this one, we annihilate them without a qualm. The concern is that we will one day build machines that, whether they're conscious or not, could treat us with similar disregard."
