AI-powered, autonomous killing robots in the Terminator style are possible. Or are these robots simply a cheap and light weapon? It's possible that both are true. This article will look at some possible uses of such machines. We will also explore ways to protect ourselves against these machines and the AI-powered AIs. We will also talk about the ethical concerns involved in their creation.
AI-powered robots
"Slaughterbots" a horror film that runs for 7 minutes and 47 seconds, aimed at warning against AI-powered autonomous weapons. The video shows a drone roughly the size and weight of an Oreo cookie. It is embedded with AI which uses facial recognition and shaped explosives as a means to find and kill its targets. YouTube has already seen the video thousands of times. The filmmakers claim that the assumptions of slaughterbots range from doubtful to completely crazy.
While it has generally succeeded in banning certain weapon types in the past (e.g. biological weapons and landmines), it has not been as successful in banning AI-powered self-propelled weapons. The International Committee on Robot Arms Control advises countries to adopt legally-binding rules regarding the regulation of lethal autonomous weapons. But that doesn't mean all military AI applications are prohibited. Some do not raise safety issues.
Autonomous drones
Slaughterbots shows two men who use remote controls in order to open the van's doors and allow dozens of quadcopter helicopters to spill out. The drones then strike a college classroom, trapping students inside. Two men escape the scene once the drones take control of the area. They cause serious damage to the students as well as injuries when they attack them.
However, the video assumes that humans are immune to slaughterbots. This is not true. History of war shows that every new tool leads directly to its counterpart. This could be a spear or a submarine, barbed wire, tank or machine gun. In other words, autonomous drones are likely to lead to new countermeasures and even autonomous weapons. The AI of slaughterbots will continue learning, which will result in safer and more effective weapons.
Terminator-style killing machines
Are Terminator-style killing devices real? Maybe. Russia has been developing Terminator helicopters, as well as tanks for the purpose of protecting cities like Terminator 2. These are known as T-Xs. They are based on T-72 and T-90 tanks chassis and are equipped with two 30mm gun(s), a large-caliber weapon, and Ataka-T anti-tank weapons.
At a recent UN conference, a resolution was not passed against the development terminator-style killing machinery. The major powers have invested billions of dollars to develop advanced artificial intelligence weapons. A kamikaze robot killed a human in Libya recently, making it the first autonomous kill by a computer. But machines are capable of making unintended and widely disseminated errors that can eventually lead to catastrophe.
Lightweight and cheap weapons
We are seeing cheap, lightweight weapons for killingbots, and the major military power are doing nothing to prevent them. They disapprove of the international ban on "legal autonomous weapons" development. It begs the question: What will stop killer robots being created? We will have to wait and watch. Let's take a look at the pros, and cons, of each type.
First, consider the STM drones. These devices look just like consumer drones. However, they come with a gun. They are inexpensive to purchase and easy to mass produce, so their cost is low. While we're still talking about the ethics of such weapons, many of us are already dreading the era of autonomous drones. The reality is closer than you think.
FAQ
How does AI work?
An artificial neural networks is made up many simple processors called neuron. Each neuron receives inputs and then processes them using mathematical operations.
The layers of neurons are called layers. Each layer has its own function. The raw data is received by the first layer. This includes sounds, images, and other information. These data are passed to the next layer. The next layer then processes them further. Finally, the last layer produces an output.
Each neuron is assigned a weighting value. This value is multiplied each time new input arrives to add it to the weighted total of all previous values. If the result is greater than zero, then the neuron fires. It sends a signal to the next neuron telling them what to do.
This process continues until you reach the end of your network. Here are the final results.
What are some examples AI apps?
AI is used in many areas, including finance, healthcare, manufacturing, transportation, energy, education, government, law enforcement, and defense. Here are just a few examples:
-
Finance – AI is already helping banks detect fraud. AI can identify suspicious activity by scanning millions of transactions daily.
-
Healthcare – AI helps diagnose and spot cancerous cell, and recommends treatments.
-
Manufacturing – Artificial Intelligence is used in factories for efficiency improvements and cost reductions.
-
Transportation - Self-driving cars have been tested successfully in California. They are currently being tested all over the world.
-
Energy - AI is being used by utilities to monitor power usage patterns.
-
Education - AI is being used for educational purposes. Students can interact with robots by using their smartphones.
-
Government - Artificial Intelligence is used by governments to track criminals and terrorists as well as missing persons.
-
Law Enforcement - AI is being used as part of police investigations. Detectives can search databases containing thousands of hours of CCTV footage.
-
Defense - AI is being used both offensively and defensively. Artificial intelligence systems can be used to hack enemy computers. For defense purposes, AI systems can be used for cyber security to protect military bases.
What countries are the leaders in AI today?
China is the world's largest Artificial Intelligence market, with over $2 billion in revenue in 2018. China's AI industry is led Baidu, Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. Tencent Holdings Ltd. Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd., Xiaomi Technology Inc.
China's government is investing heavily in AI research and development. The Chinese government has set up several research centers dedicated to improving AI capabilities. These include the National Laboratory of Pattern Recognition, the State Key Lab of Virtual Reality Technology and Systems, and the State Key Laboratory of Software Development Environment.
China is also home to some of the world's biggest companies like Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent, and Xiaomi. All of these companies are working hard to create their own AI solutions.
India is another country where significant progress has been made in the development of AI technology and related technologies. India's government is currently focusing its efforts on developing a robust AI ecosystem.
Which industries use AI the most?
Automotive is one of the first to adopt AI. BMW AG employs AI to diagnose problems with cars, Ford Motor Company uses AI develop self-driving automobiles, and General Motors utilizes AI to power autonomous vehicles.
Other AI industries include banking, insurance, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, telecommunications, transportation, and utilities.
