A Daily Star Online report
has exclusively revealed that a top robotics expert has uncovered the
worrying truth that will come with the increased use of artificial
intelligence.
Speaking in an exclusive video, Martin Ford revealed the dangerous
threat that robots could cause if the technology lands in the wrong
hands.
Mr Ford, the author behind New York Time's bestseller “Rise of the
Robots”, has been warning people to rethink their approach to technology
for years.
Now he is even more concerned that it could lead to huge problems if used by the wrong people.
He said: “Artificial intelligence, robots and smart software are going to be used by criminals to hack in to systems and do evil things."
The computer genius believes that while the machines have an
exciting future in solving many issues and benefiting our society, there
are also many warnings we must be aware of.
When questioned on the recent increase of blackmailing hackers, the
experienced futurist gave an insight into what may be to come.
He admitted: “There will also be the other side, there will be good guys using artificial intelligence to protect systems.
“But, in general, as systems become more autonomous and people are not in the loop, they become more vulnerable to hacking.
“Think about self-driving trucks in the future that deliver all our food.
“We wouldn’t want someone to hack into those trucks and bring them all to a stop – that would be a huge problem.”
He also believes that robotics should be regulated and stressed
that the technology could pose a devastating threat if used in conflict.
He warned: “There are many issues surrounding use of robots and
drones in warfare. There is a debate happening in the UN surrounding
whether these kind of weapons should be banned.”
Last year, Mr Ford participated in a conversation with the White
House Chief of Staff about the potential impact and threat that robotics
and artificial intelligence could have on our society.
His book Rise of the Robots: Technology and the Threat of a Jobless Future, is available on Amazon.
