Scientists Think Artificial Intelligence Could Kill Off All Humans

Nesbit cites the views of physicist Stephen Hawking, who claims the evolution of AI could bring an end to mankind. In an (4) interview with the BBC, the renowned British theoretical physicist warned that developing AI further could prove a pivotal mistake. Hawking cautions that when humans develop AI it will take off independently and "redesign itself at an ever-increasing rate." "Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution, couldn't compete and would be superseded," said Hawking. Nesbit also cites warnings made by (5) Microsoft co-founder Bill gates.
