Artificial Intelligence: There are obvious military implications but is this an unethical pursuit?
What do you think about pursuing autonomous weapons? Will it spark an arms race? Could it be the "last" achievement mankind makes?

Dave: Hello, HAL. Do you read me, HAL? HAL: Affirmative, Dave. I read you. Dave: Open the pod bay doors, HAL. HAL: I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do tha...

It's funny you bring this up. I'm familiar with Dr. Hawking's feelings on the matter of AI weapons. I was also just reading on Facebook (so I took that with a grain of salt) that they, Facebook, is planning on launching Internet "drones" to provide free Internet access to the world.
I'm a bit of a conspiracy theorist, so these types of talks remind me of Skynet from The Terminator and HAL 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwBmPiOmEGQ
In all seriousness though, the people who are developing this type of technology (who are much smarter than I can ever hope to be) should keep ethics in mind at all times. I think maybe they should use LCDR Data from Star Trek: TNG as their role model!

It is coming. the only question at this point is will it be made intentionally or will it be made as a oops.. They have been playing with Virtual intelligence for years. This is not a true intelligence, it is like the Google search bar or IBM's Watson. At least if we pursue it we will have a chance to direct it.

Wouldn't it be nice to have some intelligence making decisions? Hell, if they work it out, maybe we should let them vote...
