Embracing Artificial Intelligence: Addressing four key concerns - Wipro

Yes, it might, if humans ask it to. But it is not a good idea to do so as the technology lacks compassion. Armies all over the world are being equipped with AI technologies. For example, the US army3 is keen to build an Advanced Targeting and Lethality Automated System (ATLAS), which will use AI and machine learning to acquire, identify, and engage targets at least 3X faster than the current manual process. However, to stop such machines from turning into killer robots, humans need to control the way in which deep learning algorithms learn. This will require extensive knowledge about what kinds of data will be used to teach machines to fight.
