EXCLUSIVE: AI will be TEN TIMES more destructive than nuclear bombs, warns expert

US Presidential hopeful Zoltan Istvan, a Third Party candidate in the race to become America's next leader, has warned that the development of AI is going to have the biggest impact on humanity that has ever been. Scientists across the globe have been frantically working on the development of artificial intelligence, which would see machines or software expressing intelligence on par with humans. Many have warned on the perils of developing machines that are as capable as us, as it could realistically make humans obsolete as they could take our jobs, and eventually see us as more of a hindrance. Mr Istvan, a transhumanist – a movement that wants to use science and technology to radically change the human being and the human experience by merging our bodies with machine – and futurist, share similar worries.
