Robots are not our friends and we need to protect humans from them, says Hillary Clinton

Robots are not our friends, Hillary Clinton said Wednesday. The former secretary of state told radio host Hugh Hewitt that America is racing headfirst into a world of artificial intelligence without considering the repercussions. "Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Stephen Hawking, a lot of really smart people are sounding an alarm that we're not hearing," she said. "The future is coming right at us, and honest to goodness, I just think everybody listening to you should be demanding that public officials start coming up with some approaches to how we're going to protect human beings and our lives from this." Clinton expressed particular concern about the loss of jobs due to automation and the potential rise of surveillance associated with the internet of things like Smart TVs and home assistants.
