November 14, 2017

Artificial intelligence could prove to be deadly to the human race, according to physicist Stephen Hawking, who told the audience at the recent Web Summit in Lisbon that the technology's impact could prove destructive.

In noting that while AI also has potential to be the best thing discovered, Hawking stated "we cannot know if we will be infinitely helped by AI or ignored by it and sidelines or conceivably destroyed by it," according to a News.com.au report.
