Elon Musk may be pushing the envelope of AI technology, but the tech entrepreneur is well aware of the dangers of autonomous robots\/weapons. Recently, Musk and Google\u2018s Mustafa Suleyman lead a group of 116 robotics and AI pioneers from 26 countries to sign an open letter urging the United Nations to ban the development and use of killer robotics and autonomous weapons. <\/p>\n

The open letter comes ahead of the UN\u2019s formal discussion on autonomous weapons (which include drones, tanks and automated machine guns) slated for November, addressing that the current direction of today\u2019s arms race facilitates a \u201cthird revolution in warfare\u201d following gunpowder and nuclear arms. The tech pioneers wrote:<\/p>\n

\n

\n\u201cOnce developed, lethal autonomous weapons will permit armed conflict to be fought on a scale greater than ever, and at timescales faster than humans can comprehend. These can be weapons of terror, weapons that despots and terrorists use against innocent populations, and weapons hacked to behave in undesirable ways. We do not have long to act. Once this Pandora\u2019s box is opened, it will be hard to close.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Let us know whether you think AI technology is humankind\u2019s latest existential threat in the comments below. In the meantime, watch Elon Musk\u2019s AI bots beat Esport\u2019s best gamers at Dota. Also, Instagram is using Kanye West lyrics to test its new moderation AI. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
