Stanford study concludes next generation of robots won't try to kill us

It sounds like we can all take a breath and forget about robot attacks occurring -- at least anytime soon. Robots turning against their makers is a common theme in science fiction. However, there's "no cause for concern that AI poses an imminent threat to humanity," according to Fast Company, citing the first report from the One Hundred Year Study on Artificial Intelligence (AI100). The Stanford University-hosted project represents a standing committee of AI scientists. The AI100 project is ongoing but will not issue reports annually -- the next one will be published "in a few years."
