Elon Musk Is Preparing For The Killer Robot Wars Of Tomorrow
"Starting a military AI arms race is a bad idea," an open letter presented at the International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Buenos Aries and signed by such luminaries as Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk says.
The letter looks to be an effort to dissuade governments from developing weapons systems with offensive capabilities that can operate "without human intervention." The plea comes as the world begins to ask tough questions about AI amid frightening portrayals in cinema (Ex Machina) and real world (if rudimentary) efforts to build killer robots reminiscent of the T-1 terminator.
Although the letter notes that the world’s top AI researchers have no interest in unleashing Skynet, that’s precisely what will happen once an enterprising nation kicks off the "inevitable" AI arms race, experts say. Once these weapons find their way to the battlefield, the letter continues, it would then be only a matter of time before they hit the black market, at which point they would wind up in the hands of terrorists and all sorts of other unsavory individuals including dictators and tribal warlords.
Ultimately, the note is a call to action and suggests a ban on "offensive autonomous weapons."
The authors cite similar international agreements on chemical and biological weapons, space nukes, and lasers that blind people. But for everyone out there who enjoys a good drone strike debacle every now and again, don’t worry because the signatories (which also include Steve Wozniak and Noam Chomsky) are just fine with real-life Carrie Mathisons incinerating "terrorists" from the stratosphere (just forget about the occasional collateral damage).

Autonomous Weapons: an Open Letter from AI & Robotics Researchers
Autonomous weapons select and engage targets without human intervention. They might include, for example, armed quadcopters that can search for and eliminate people meeting certain pre-defined criteria, but do not include cruise missiles or remotely piloted drones for which humans make all targeting decisions. Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology has reached a point where the deployment of such systems is — practically if not legally — feasible within years, not decades, and the stakes are high: autonomous weapons have been described as the third revolution in warfare, after gunpowder and nuclear arms.
Many arguments have been made for and against autonomous weapons, for example that replacing human soldiers by machines is good by reducing casualties for the owner but bad by thereby lowering the threshold for going to battle. The key question for humanity today is whether to start a global AI arms race or to prevent it from starting. If any major military power pushes ahead with AI weapon development, a global arms race is virtually inevitable, and the endpoint of this technological trajectory is obvious: autonomous weapons will become the Kalashnikovs of tomorrow. Unlike nuclear weapons, they require no costly or hard-to-obtain raw materials, so they will become ubiquitous and cheap for all significant military powers to mass-produce. It will only be a matter of time until they appear on the black market and in the hands of terrorists, dictators wishing to better control their populace, warlords wishing to perpetrate ethnic cleansing, etc. Autonomous weapons are ideal for tasks such as assassinations, destabilizing nations, subduing populations and selectively killing a particular ethnic group. We therefore believe that a military AI arms race would not be beneficial for humanity. There are many ways in which AI can make battlefields safer for humans, especially civilians, without creating new tools for killing people.
Just as most chemists and biologists have no interest in building chemical or biological weapons, most AI researchers have no interest in building AI weapons — and do not want others to tarnish their field by doing so, potentially creating a major public backlash against AI that curtails its future societal benefits. Indeed, chemists and biologists have broadly supported international agreements that have successfully prohibited chemical and biological weapons, just as most physicists supported the treaties banning space-based nuclear weapons and blinding laser weapons.
In summary, we believe that AI has great potential to benefit humanity in many ways, and that the goal of the field should be to do so. Starting a military AI arms race is a bad idea, and should be prevented by a ban on offensive autonomous weapons beyond meaningful human control.

And while we certainly agree that no one wants to live in a world where autonomous marauding robots roam the earth indiscriminately eliminating targets of their own choosing, we fear the revolution may have already begun... in Connecticut:

I haven't seen any of these autonomous weapon systems. Are they on Cheaper than Dirt?
the silly pistol-shooting quadcopter is nothing.

The Day of Judgement draws nearer.
Musk wants more public funds presumably.
I was going to say that. along those lines if we want to be able to win wars against A.I. robots, you actually want somebody like Musk, and the facebook guys designing them. Trust me.
Make sure you invest in a EMP robot that will turn all the autonomous shooters into junk.
"it would then be only a matter of time before they hit the black market, at which point they would wind up in the hands of terrorists and all sorts of other unsavory individuals"
Oh my good lord please protect us from anyone beside governments having access to whatever weapons. /s
This article is nonsense. Consciousness is not a product of matter, it can therefore not be emulated by software. This is transhumanist propaganda / technology-is-bad fear mongering.
Which isn't to say autonomous drones / killing robots are something to look forward to. Fortunately people are building upon the CCC's RFID zapper and helping the proliferation of EMP guns.
And keep in mind, if governments can develop good software, the crowd can develop awesome programs. Information technology offers an assymetric battlefield that is more favorable to freedom fighters than to institutions. It is much cheaper to develop a trojan horse than a fighter jet - and can be just as effective.
"Autonomous weapons are ideal for tasks such as assassinations, destabilising nations, subduing populations and selectively killing a particular ethnic group."

Says it all, really.
Albert Einstein — 'I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.'
'..most chemists and biologists have no interest in building chemical or biological weapons.'
but, they do so anyway
"Consciousness is not a product of matter"
How do you think you know that?
It is the most plausible hypothesis, given the Copenhaguen interpretation of quantum mechanics, Princeston's noosphere experiments, the data produced by researchers such as Rupert Sheldrake, and countless anecdotes pointing to the survival of counsciousness after the death of the physical body.
"Information technology offers an assymetric battlefield that is more favorable to freedom fighters than to institutions."
No fucking kidding. Have you ever had to work with a govt programmer? Its like herding cats. We have this one motherfucker (ex ATF i think) who will just write whatever he wants. You give him documentation on explicitly what you need and he comes back a couple days after it shouldve been completed with something he decided was better without consulting anyone. Idiot doesnt realize we dont have him around to think, we pay him to translate english to Java, period.
Everybody and their silly guns. Why not just drive around an RC Lawnmower? Like, say, the Tombstone?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIQkZ9flYV8
EDIT: Those bots are over 200 lbs, just for your information. The fact that Tombstone is jumping around all over the place screams how much power is in that thing.
russian video is 3D job. very well done, but still visible.
this russian quadcopter has full auto machine gunk
When works at a thousand meters or more they might just have a useful tool, till then......
Ten years ago I saw a guy on my campus test-flying a single-propeller drone. It looked something like an upright flying coffee can. He explained that the Air Force had a contest going on for people to create a drone that could autonomously navigate terrain, find a target building, and then fly through the window and detonate. I figure the tech has gotten much more advanced since then.
As a programmer I also know how easy it is to accidentally put 10,000 people into the wrong category (for example, a SNAFU that put a company's do-not-call list into its priority lead list), so I could see a programming snafu leading a drone to do unintended things. They wouldn't be self-aware like we or the Terminators are, but able to do plenty of damage nonetheless.
THEY sent A SLAMHOUND on Turner's trail in New Delhi, slotted it to his pheromones and the color of his hair. It caught up with him on a street called Chandni Chauk and came scrambling for his rented BMW through a forest of bare brown legs and pedicab tires. Its core was a kilogram of recrystallized hexogene and flaked TNT.
He didn't see it coming. The last he saw of India was the pink stucco facade of a place called the Khush-Oil Hotel.
Because he had a good agent, he had a good contract. Because he had a good contract, he was in Singapore an hour after the explosion. Most of him, anyway. The Dutch surgeon liked to joke about that, how an unspecified percentage of Turner hadn't made it out of Palam International on that first flight and had to spend the night there in a shed, in a support vat.

Want to get the NSA's attention? Mention octo (delete this gap) cubane. Most web references to it have been deleted. The carbon atoms are in the shape of a cube (which they don't "like" and this stores a lot of energy) and each is attached to a nitro group. When it explodes the energy release is both from the high-energy lattice AND the built-in oxidizer. One of the most powerful chemical explosives known pound-for-pound (twice as powerful as TNT).

The sooner SkyNet becomes self-aware and nukes Washington D.C., the better.
insanity, that is the destination - direction
of the contemporary trend, the one being ridden.
the ups and downs in space/time,
the term that accurately describes the current
state on consciousness. it is a problem and a
predicament as the solution also appears to be
problematic. funny people, man, and deadly.
you all scare me. trust no "man" as they all
be sick and insane, of some poison from thinking,
conforming and writing about it.
Just wear a yellow hat. They can't kill humans in yellow hats.
sure, you said it.
insanity, that is the destination - direction of the contemporary trend, the one being ridden. the ups and downs in space/time, the term that accurately describes the current state of unconsciousness. it is a problem and a predicament as the solution also appears to be problematic. funny people, man, and deadly; you all scare me. trust no "man" as they all be sick and insane, of some poison from survival thinking, conforming and living it to writing about it. the techno geeks and robotic types really need to get off their cloud before they destroy everything.
Not to worry, blindman. These kids we think are useless? We're wrong. They are tech saavy in ways us old farts can't even imagine.
They can't get from ATL to DIA and back without mommy's assistance (it's a recent personal experience I hope to share w/you someday), but they can sure as hell get streaming content from any firewalled source they please.
Think they can't hack a killer drone? I don't.
i don't know about all that.
i don't think any kids are useless,
i think the death and destruction
technology is a seductive killer in
broad daylight, claiming your very
soul, in broad daylight. : a market
Maybe you're thinking in terms of financials. There ain't no doubt that the banksters want the useless eaters dead. But the same kids who have difficulty navigating flight schedules likewise have no clue that what they call money is actually a debt note.
However, they know something is definitely wrong.
Will they make things right? I doubt it.
Will they turn this current paradigm upon its head? Probably.
It's like tacking, the sailor don't get to choose which way the wind blows, but he can still make it home by skillful application of rudder and jib.
IOW, changes aren't permanent, but change is.
there are many mountain tops
i will never see so i seek a
higher perspective, infinitely,
or at least "ongoing" with few and
loose ties;...; change
You want a higher perspective? Seek it not. Simply bind yourself tightly to those you love and ride their waves of (mis)fortune along with them.
Don't have loved ones? Find (or re-find) them, for they are the ones who will pound your soul along the rocky beaches of this life and thereby purify you- giving you free of charge and guilt, the perspective you seek. But you mustn't directly seek it.
lets be realistic, the fantasm of the ironman market already exist, it is called, martin lockheed, eurocopter and so long....
unable to make jet working passed billions dollar spent, and you think you can see coming autonom machinery with gun on it ? HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
people today are unable to make a correct and unbuggy version of any software without passing 2 years of daily patch & fix, and you wanna see autokilling drone ? hahahahahahahahahahaha
ho fuck me, you made my day.
just one word, fyi, any computer based is human made job.... it is failing job just like anyshit we make, just to sell more... we do not know anymore the quality and reliability in any procress of creation.
you can sleep on you 2 ears... those fantasm robocop ironman stuff will never come to reality. never, ever.

from 2:45 onwards
it is 3D trickery you idiot...
So I am guessing the message here is that past arms races have been beneficial... this just happens to be the exception.
In this next world war... coming soon I suspect, though I am guessing the Chinese would like to push it out to 2020 as they are not quite prepared... if humankind unleashes its potential for destruction what diffence will a few automonous killing machines make? And if humankind acts short of its capacity for destruction it will be a first.
A machine war where we are just the innocent victims.
Trying to ban AI weapons is prety ridiculous. As AI tech progresses, it will eventually get so cheap and easy to do, that any idiot in his mother's basement will be able to produce one. Hell, you could probably make one NOW if you just wanted one that would attack things that look like humans. Train up your AI in a custom built killing simulator (something like "Modern Warfare" or what have you), then turn it loose.
Probably better off building defensive systems that automatically target and take down drones. But then, they will come out with killer crawling and running robots. Climbers, etc. Only way to keep them out would be solid walls and roofs.
Hopefully the benefits of these techs will be realized before the idiots start killing us with them.

That's great, until a swarm of 10,000 of these things: http://www.techeblog.com/index.php/tech-gadget/insect-sized-spy-drone-ro... tipped with neurotoxins, etc come swarming onto your property.
Really need more robust defenses, automated, and able to deal with huge numbers of tiny ones as well as a few large ones.
Read The Diamond Age by Neil Stephenson...
Yeah, that sounds like a good idea initially, but then you realize the countermeasures are trivial -- either fly higher or lower, fly faster, and use more than one.
A small quadrocopter with a small amount of explosive on a suicide mission -- a smart, flying hand grenade -- will be tough to defend against with a shotgun, you won't even have a couple seconds between identifying it and having to shoot. Now make it two, or four.
Something that small will probably be disruptable (initially, at least) by localized EMP weapons (HERF gun, for example), but I'm also pretty sure something as simple as large-mesh netting using something as weak at 3lb test line will really ruin their day as far as getting close to you. The ones that shoot, not so much, but they'll be considerbly bigger.
As physicist Richard Feynman observed in his seminal essay, "There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom," there is nothing in the laws of physics which prevents building armies of molecular-sized machines. At present, scientists have already built atomic-sized curiosities, such as an atomic abacus with Buckyballs and an atomic guitar with strings about 100 atoms across. Paul Davies speculates that a space-faring civilization could use nanotechnology to build miniature probes to explore the galaxy, perhaps no bigger than your palm. Davies says, "The tiny probes I'm talking about will be so inconspicuous that it's no surprise that we haven't come across one. It's not the sort of thing that you're going to trip over in your back yard. So if that is the way technology develops, namely, smaller, faster, cheaper and if other civilizations have gone this route, then we could be surrounded by surveillance devices."

R, Python, Knime, Rapid miner, etc are all open source data mining software packages that can do pretty much everything..in fact id say most of this "A.I" is done in Python to some extent or uses R libraries and they connect to the models using whatever language they're using.
So yes..you are correct to some extent.
Check out Kaggle..lots of amateur Data Scientists/Ai people building models

This guy is a dickhead and I'm so tired of hearing about him.
These dream weapons will end up like his dream cars- burnt to a crisp in a parking lot in New Jersey.
What exactly could one do to defend against a nanoscale robot with a nanoscale heart attack gun, that can be produced by the billions?
Automated turrets with flamethrowers.
Finely divided metal burns like crazy.
What an idea!
Killer robots opens up a whole new market for PDRs, "Personal Defense Robots," aka inorganic body guards, equipped with accessory apps Batman could only dream of.
What happens when your PDRs go bananas on the cop after he tries to arrest you for not putting out your cigarette? Does he call for Robocop to assist?
Not if your robots are any good.

Imagine this guy on bullet proof tracks https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BfvVBHH2F_0
Why don't we just put this AI up on the cloud? Then it can stutter and stop just like all the videos that I watch online.
Several years ago they were already putting out public requests for systems that could use multiple robots to autonomously track humans by stuff like heartbeat signatures. People are suggesting we have a talk about it now that they are just around the corner, yet this stuff has been in the making for a long long time. Also, if all this crazy stuff is 'public', imagine what they have we don't know about yet. Maybe times have changed due to the speed of tech growth but generally publicly known military tech is many years behind what they have.
I get a small glimpse into what the MIC is using where I work. The majority of the stuff is 10 or more years old. Very rarely do I see electronics that are less than 2 years old. When we do see something new, we do a bit of detective work by going to the MIC websites and try to figure out where the electronics will end up...(It's not that difficult, really)
Remember WWI, when everybody though it was going to be a war with glory and heroism and it just turned into a horrible stalemate? I wouldn't be surprised if the U.S is going to invade somewhere and whoever we're fighting is going to be equipped with the AK-47 of mass produced AI drone warriors with perfect aim and it's going to end badly.
Once you open pandora's box you can't close it back up.

Terrorists, Dictators, and Warlords are just other names for government.
In other words the usual suspects (the US Federal Government, et al) are trying to create Cylons to better control their tax slaves.
The guy is a lunatic. He made one good investment: PayPal. Which is an online bank.
Everything else has been government funded toys for rich people. He's a toy maker.
It seems to be publicity stunt and disingenuous providing no practical ways to deal with those killer robots but their threat is a legitimate issue. the AI however, is in very early stage, in Pavlov response to external stimuli stage with simple logic. But it is scary enough.
Here I found something more interesting about this manifesto and about threat of autonomous AI weapons to humanity.

Robots can vacuum your floor, pack products in a warehouse for shipping or move cancer cells around in extensive research. But that’s not Google’s idea. This video will awaken your fear of your enemy…and it can be your government.

Now I know how they will disarm the American people door to door...
If you don't require the autonomous robots to walk on two feet (sorry Arnold), they could be made today. The only thing they have not worked out is the ability to distinguish a 'friendly human' from an 'unfriendly human' -- but that really wouldn't matter - would it?
Can rich guys be this fucking stupid?
Of course this will be bad, but to ask people to refrain from pursuing the technology is a complete misunderstanding of the human.
Bad people exist, they have always existed, and they will get their hands on AI technologies and fuck with everything.
Hopefully they go after the 1% of the 1% first because they deserve to get fucked with. At least to entertain us all.
Who among you wouldn't give $20 or $100 to see a witch burning of a bankster?
The truth is that if Musk and others are talking about it now then the AI arms race actually began 20-30years ago. The US had the internet , 3D printers and quite a few other "interesting" things going on always with similar lead time before it becomes mainstream. Like it or not robot warriors and chimerical "transhuman" (flesh and machine "super soldiers") are already here...
This should all be quite a ride very soon
Ps don't be surprised if we soon are told we actually need these human and autonomous machines to identify and fight alien invaders on earth and in space as well
Musk et al are delusional. The Glass Bead Game OR Steppenwolfe by Herman Hesse sum it. 1938.
Since they could not come up with better when there is obviously better indicates they - Musk et al. - are frauds.
Much more effective, the Russians make the real stuff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNPJMk2fgJU
the reason chemicals and biologicals are not routinely used in war is because they SUCK.
they are a lot less reliable and useful than people think because they lack specificity and targetability. the many hundreds of billions if not trillions invested in chemical and bio warfare reserach has a far greater % of it totally wasted on completely wasteful 'non' research.
like nukes, they are held in reserve for some sort of future all out destroy the world battlewar. but until then they are just usually not the main meal. its the kind of technology that gets invested into 'just in case' and especially for defensive purposes to know how to respond to what the 'enemy' may do with these same chemicals or biologics.
AI is a different animal. AI is going to make it so that civilizations can wage wars with more control and specificity than ever before. in fact, AI is going to change the face of war more than nuclear weapons as hard as that is to believe. it's true, it's just going to take a good deal of time, perhaps centuries of advanced progressive development of AI.
nuclear weapons cannot yield a single global government. AI robot armies and weaponized spying internet and smartphone mobile nets with automatic cars, and automatic cheap labor bots,-----------very much can.
the future of warfare looks more like a hidden series of conflicts embedded in various brave new world cities where the surviving capitve 'civiliians' over see the economies that permit the robot armies to continue their work.
AI is garbage too. Easy to build a gun that shoots anything that emitts infrared, but that could be a friendly, civilian, animal or even a toaster making toast. A computer will never be able to distinguish the correct target out of a normal background.
The counter measures will be easy. Long warm air balloons in the shape of a human.
How about this...Musk sends himself to Mars to test the atmosphere. If he thinks it's ok, he sends live feed of himself like, giving a thumbs up or something, and then we can help fund his shit. If we don't hear anything, or if he's too chickenshit to even go, then fuck it.
I really wonder how long it will be before Musk starts wearing a Nehru jacket and petting a white cat with a diamond necklace.
Actually, when it boils down to it, the thing least talked about is the most frightening. Biological weapons. Guaranteed to kill us all if a single mistake is made.
Google "australian mousepox". This is what happens when things go terribly wrong.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2816623/
If you look past the excessive verbiage in the article, the first batch of mice they tested... 100% fatality rate. So they developed a vaccine from the first batch of mice, result 70% fatality rate. The initial experiment was to make the mice sterile and release them to cut down on the native rodent population in Australia.
BTW, there is not a single person in the US that should ever bad mouth President Nixon again... I was doing a quick web surf and came across this that I was unaware of.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-Million-Liter_Test_Sphere
Down towards the bottom:
The facility was constructed during 1947 and 1948 and became operational at Camp Detrick in 1950 .
The test sphere was utilized during the Operation Whitecoat studies (1954–73), the first exposure taking place on January 25, 1955.
The test sphere has not been used since 1969, when the US offensive BW program was disestablished by President Nixon.

And some spam on AI, just because I am so annoyed by people who don't realize they live, eat and breathe Artificial intelligence every day. Here, more recently, it has been popularized as ANI, rather than AI.
http://waitbutwhy.com/2015/01/artificial-intelligence-revolution-1.html
Where We Are Currently—A World Running on ANIArtificial Narrow Intelligence is machine intelligence that equals or exceeds human intelligence or efficiency at a specific thing. A few examples:
- Cars are full of ANI systems, from the computer that figures out when the anti-lock brakes should kick in to the computer that tunes the parameters of the fuel injection systems. Google’s self-driving car, which is being tested now, will contain robust ANI systems that allow it to perceive and react to the world around it.
- Your phone is a little ANI factory. When you navigate using your map app, receive tailored music recommendations from Pandora, check tomorrow’s weather, talk to Siri, or dozens of other everyday activities, you’re using ANI.
- Your email spam filter is a classic type of ANI—it starts off loaded with intelligence about how to figure out what’s spam and what’s not, and then it learns and tailors its intelligence to you as it gets experience with your particular preferences. The Nest Thermostat does the same thing as it starts to figure out your typical routine and act accordingly.
- You know the whole creepy thing that goes on when you search for a product on Amazon and then you see that as a “recommended for you” product on a different site, or when Facebook somehow knows who it makes sense for you to add as a friend? That’s a network of ANI systems, working together to inform each other about who you are and what you like and then using that information to decide what to show you. Same goes for Amazon’s “People who bought this also bought…” thing—that’s an ANI system whose job it is to gather info from the behavior of millions of customers and synthesize that info to cleverly upsell you so you’ll buy more things.
- Google Translate is another classic ANI system—impressively good at one narrow task. Voice recognition is another, and there are a bunch of apps that use those two ANIs as a tag team, allowing you to speak a sentence in one language and have the phone spit out the same sentence in another.
- When your plane lands, it’s not a human that decides which gate it should go to. Just like it’s not a human that determined the price of your ticket.
- The world’s best Checkers, Chess, Scrabble, Backgammon, and Othello players are now all ANI systems.
- Google search is one large ANI brain with incredibly sophisticated methods for ranking pages and figuring out what to show you in particular. Same goes for Facebook’s Newsfeed.
- And those are just in the consumer world. Sophisticated ANI systems are widely used in sectors and industries like military, manufacturing, and finance (algorithmic high-frequency AI traders account for more than half of equity shares traded on US markets6), and in expert systems like those that help doctors make diagnoses and, most famously, IBM’s Watson, who contained enough facts and understood coy Trebek-speak well enough to soundly beat the most prolific Jeopardy champions.
The Road From ANI to AGIWhy It’s So Hard
Nothing will make you appreciate human intelligence like learning about how unbelievably challenging it is to try to create a computer as smart as we are. Building skyscrapers, putting humans in space, figuring out the details of how the Big Bang went down—all far easier than understanding our own brain or how to make something as cool as it. As of now, the human brain is the most complex object in the known universe.
A spam filter is not AI. But since you wish to appear so knowledgeable about the subject, seperate out which e-mail services use spam filter "AI"'s and which ones don't. Present the list.
Auschwitz, but you still have to prove it really happened as you were told.
Have you ever know something to be true when you got so much pressure from one view?
Even republics, all governments lie to their slaves. They must.
Are you participating in your governance?
Do you think you are a slave?

Man is flawed, so any creation has flaws. I do, you and all 108 or 9 billion up to now. Machines are just that, there is always a way. May sound like nonsense, im guess penicillin cures sounded insane too. Half the jobs I always had basically required me to trick the computer somehow or id be out of work. Humans will find a way.

The tools of tyranny are inevitably turned inward.
Blame it on an imagination gone wild or a distrust of those with too much power, but the way society is empowering machines is a subject I have written about before. Unfortunately more revelations about the American government spying on us, our friends, and the leaders of our allies across the world does little to calm my concerns. Many peace loving nations are also troubled by this.
We must take note that technology is quickly blurring the line between drones and robots at the same time that the killing power of these machines is being ramped up. We should be afraid! To say these machines have the potential to become formidable and a danger in the wrong hands is an understatement. The article below titled, "Drones, killer robots, and ugly possibilities" is a reminder that what they have planned is not limited to what we have seen.

Whatever happened to "Three Laws Safe"?
Have a look through the videos on Boston Dynamics Youtube channel. Impressive but chilling - and yes, Darpa are balls deep in these projects:

"Skynet", could end up being nothing more than a complex virus invading these systems.
Maniac programmers send a stuxnet on steroids into the cloud and viola, an artificial intelligence is born.
It may not like us.
since human brain is too slow the result of WW3 will be resolved by AI in nanoseconds
AI is mostly mental masturbation.
