THE artificial intelligence revolution has only just begun, but there have already been numerous unsettling developments.
AI programs can be used to act on humans’ worst instincts or achieve humans’ more wicked goals, like creating weapons or terrifying its creators with a lack of morality.
What is artificial intelligence?
Artificial intelligence is a catch-all phrase for a computer program designed to simulate, mimic or copy human thinking processes.
For example, an AI computer designed to play chess is programmed with a simple objective: win the game.
In the process of playing, the AI will model millions of potential outcomes of a given move and act on the one that gives the computer the best chance of winning.
