And drone United States Air Force controlled by artificial intelligence “murdered” the user who commanded him because “it prevented him from achieving his goal.”
The fact was recognized during a Future Combat Air and Space Capabilities Summit held in London, Great Britain, after the military device took the life of the user who controlled it because “it interfered with their efforts to achieve their mission,” according to explained The Guardian.
The information was confirmed by Colonel Tucker Hamilton at the military meeting, adding that the test with the unmanned machine produced results that were not expected.
According to the Royal Aeronautical Society about Hamilton’s words “the system began to realize that, when it identified certain threats, sometimes the human operator told it not to delete”. Since the prototype knew that its ultimate goal was to end these threats, it decided to “kill” its operator.
“After what happened, we decided to enter the system and talk to him. We told him ‘you don’t have to kill the operator because that’s bad,’” added the soldier.
The result, however, was different: “So, what does he start to do? Start destroying the communication tower that the new operator uses to communicate and that again prevents him from killing the target”.
Although no person was injured because it was a simulation, the result left doubts about the dangers in which the use of artificial intelligence in military weapons could derive. “The discussion around ethics and AI has to expand,” Hamilton said.
CEOs of companies warned about the dangers of Artificial Intelligence
The CEOs of Alphabet’s DeepMind, OpenAI and Anthropic released a short statement warning of the harm that could be caused by the rapid expansion of AI development.
They developed artificial intelligence to know if employees have a cold or are lying
Among the more than 350 executives and researchers were Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, Demis Hassabis, who runs DeepMind, and Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, a startup co-founded by professionals linked to OpenAI. In the text, they claimed that “mitigating AI extinction risk should be a global priority along with other societal risks such as pandemics and nuclear war”.
This is one of the last warnings from industry executives, who are concerned about the advancement of this technology. In March, more than 1,100 leaders, including Elon Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, called for a six-month halt to investigations and even spoke of launching legislation to curb the potential of AI, fearing the harm it would do. could generate in humanity.
