SLAUGHTERBOTS AND EMPEROR AIs: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AS AN EXISTENTIAL THREAT TO HUMANITY.
There are two significantly different artificial intelligence applications that could present an existential threat to humanity: Artificially intelligent lethal autonomous weapons (killer robots) and artificially intelligent systems tasked with controlling a nuclear arsenal, a major military force,...

Melnik, Yevgeniya K. affil: Chaminade University of Honolulu Clinical Psychology, Maryland su: Artificial intelligence Nuclear reactors Humanity Autonomous robots Weapons systems sug: subj: Artificial intelligence Nuclear reactors Power Boiler and Heat Exchanger Manufacturing Humanity Autonomous robots Weapons systems ab: There are two significantly different artificial intelligence applications that could present an existential threat to humanity: Artificially intelligent lethal autonomous weapons (killer robots) and artificially intelligent systems tasked with controlling a nuclear arsenal, a major military force, or nuclear reactors. This essay describes necessary and sufficient conditions for each of these AI applications to cause a potential annihilation of humanity. Autonomous, armed, robots programmed for self-protection and swarming could work together to destroy humanity. To prevent such an outcome, countries need to develop internationally agreed on and enforced controls limiting artificial intelligence development. Yet, countries are very selfprotective, and are already developing lethal autonomous weapons. Historically, the control of dangerous technologies has been inadequate with nuclear reactors melting down and deadly viruses escaping laboratories, but one can learn from these failures. This essay reveals how innate human spirituality and compassion may be called upon to help bring humanity together to develop a treaty, agreed on and enforced by most, to protect the human species from potential rogue AI. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
