Specialists have not yet begun the production of robots, but people who are representatives of the largest organizations have already written an open letter asking them to ban innovation. The appeal is already signed by Ilona Mask, head of the Deep Mind laboratory and the rest. The appeal was sent to the UN after we managed to collect a little more than a hundred signatures.
The UN is planning to study the issue of creating and distributing autonomous combat drones, as well as other independent devices. However, people who are representatives of IT organizations are sure that all equipment that has artificial intelligence may be more dangerous in the future. It can be concluded that all who have at least some relation to the statement, fear quite rightly. During the race, it is possible that modern deadly devices may appear that may threaten both humanity and the environment.
The essence of the letter is that the Convention on the prohibition and restriction of the use of modern weapons should be improved. It is also necessary to include combat robots, including other weapons that are autonomous. The convention was adopted in 1983, a long time has passed since then, which means that the law is outdated.
It is noteworthy that Zuckerberg criticized the words of Ilon Mask about the great threat to people and the environment. The main initiator in the preparation of the letter was Toby Walsh. The initiators, who signed the agreement, call for the harmonization of laws and regulations to prohibit the creation of units that can later become killers. Until such measures are taken, the parties that have signed the agreement undertake not to participate in the development, and not to support the production of autonomous deadly weapons.
Modern robots who will be recruits
The military are among the sponsors of projects related to the development of robots with the presence of AI. Until such measures were taken, all signatories undertake not to support trade, as well as the development of units that can later become fighters of all living things.
Military can be safely attributed to the owners of AI technology. Machines on admission to the posts will be able to fly over the territory related to the enemy. In addition, they will have a built-in ability to navigate well on land, as well as to conduct patrols over the water.
To this day, the search for equipment systems that will become more modern. Gavin Williamson announced a plan to create a new fighter, which subsequently will fly without a pilot. The project has invested about 2 billion. Sterling.
Nevertheless, a large amount of research conducted proves that the transfer of all rights to machines is beyond all facets of morality - after all, robots will be able to independently decide who needs to be "executed" and who can be "pardoned".
The ministers who were in favor of passing the law were immediately quick to justify - they argue that in Great Britain there is no development of weapons systems that can be fatal. But such rapid progress in the field of creation and improvement of artificial intelligence systems only indicates that there is now a new opportunity to create modern weapons, which will not be able to coordinate all their steps with the person - the only rational being.
Professor of artificial intelligence in Sydney argues that the autonomous weapon is unacceptable, he also signed a contract. He added that they have no opportunity to keep a person from creating an autonomous weapon. The same applies to the creation of chemical weapons. But if there is a desire that the terrorists have no opportunity to have easy access to it, you need to be sure that it is not sold openly.
Of course, scientists may well stop working on autonomous weapons. It is important to note that it is not known what people can do with data that has already been published at the moment, since this factor is outside the zone of influence of the developers.
The project was carried out Maven Pentagon contract, which caused a lot of hype. The program uses machine learning, along with AI, which can analyze video and even recognize objects. However, the project soon became known as earnings in the war, as a result of which the contract was broken. But Ilon Musk could not badly popiaritsya on this story. To this day, it is unknown whether weapons with artificial intelligence will be used in the future and whether the agreement will work.
