Google sets up artificial intelligence ethics board

Google has set up an ethics board to oversee its work in artificial intelligence. The search giant has recently bought several robotics companies, along with Deep Mind, a British firm creating software that tries to help computers think like humans. One of its founders warned artificial intelligence is'number 1 risk for this century,' and believes it could play a part in human extinction. An analyst believes Google is in the best position to create the first ever conscious machine and already has related projects in the place. It recently bought a number of robotics firm, such as Meka pictured, for example. Its most recent Hummingbird search update was created to make Google'more human' - searches can now understand context, like a human brain, for example.
