In a slightly alarming piece of news to wake up to, MPs have been warned a rogue artificial intelligence could kill everybody if the technology is not properly regulated like nuclear weapons.

A rogue artificial intelligence could kill everybody if the technology is not properly regulated like nuclear weapons, MPs have been warned.

Researchers told the science and technology committee that AI could pose an ‘existential threat’ to humanity. The MPs were told how the AI industry had evolved into an ‘arms race’ and that countries are competing with one another to develop it for military and civilian use.Michael Cohen, a doctoral student at Oxford University, said: ‘With superhuman AI there is a particular risk that is of a different sort of class, which is . . . it could kill everyone.

‘If you imagine training a dog with treats: it will learn to pick actions that lead to it getting treats, but if the dog finds the treat cupboard, it can get the treats itself without doing what we wanted it to do.’
