Complex and semi-autonomous artificial intelligence powered robots could pose very real dangers if not designed carefully to differentiate between “good” and “bad” targets. The US Army encountered a harrowing situation earlier this year, when a software malfunction caused war robots to aim (but not fire) at friendly targets. Daily Tech explains: RobotsRead more...]]>
