Killer Robots:
Leading experts in artificial intelligence have boycotted a South Korean university in association with weapons (Killer Robots) manufacturer Hanwha Systems.
More than 50 AI researchers from 30 countries signed a letter expressing concern over their plans to develop artificial intelligence for weapons.
In response, the university said it would not develop “autonomous lethal weapons.”
Pandora’s box
Next week in Geneva, 123 member countries of the UN will discuss the challenges posed by lethal autonomous weapons or robots. 22 of these nations call for an absolute ban on such weapons.
