A group of British scientists have recognized that artificial intelligence is a threat to humans. The results of the scientific experiment are published on The Telegraph website.
The authors of the report were the staff of the Oxford University. In the course of the study, experts analyzed both short-term and long-term risks of large-scale disasters that can lead to the death of humanity. A number of them have been voiced before. For example, the list says about the most powerful volcanic eruptions and the collision of the Earth with a large asteroid.
However, the report of British scientists also contained new threats. These include the risk of humanity being destroyed by artificial intelligence. According to researchers, the danger lies in the fact that it can be formed by illegal groups, whose research is controlled by the state. If an artificial intelligence is released on the Web, it will most likely lead to a conflict with a person. The report also mentions nuclear wars, the destruction of people by viruses.
