Stephen Hawking: 'Technology will eradicate mankind someday'

Stephen Hawking has warned that technology must be properly controlled to protect the future of humanity.

Well-known physicist, who once talked about the dangers of artificial intelligence, argued that "a world-wide government" may be the only hope of humanity.

He also argued that human reasoning and logic are currently the only way to prevent the growing threat of nuclear or biological warfare.

"Since civilization began, aggression was useful because it contained certain survival advantages" - he told The Times - "But now technology has grown at a rate that This aggression can destroy all of us with nuclear or biological warfare. We need to inherit a way of controlling this instinct by our reasoning and reasoning. "

"All of this sounds a bit shocking, but I'm optimistic. I think humanity will grow and be able to face these challenges," added the physicist.

Recently, the University of Cambridge professor also said that rapid population growth, climate change and disease risk are some of the top threats to Earth residents.

"We are facing terrible environmental challenges: climate change, lack of food, overpopulation, genocide of many species, epidemics, ocean acidification."

"Must work together - It is a reminder when we are in the most dangerous moment in the history of human development. Now, we have the technologies to destroy the planet but not yet possible." - "Perhaps in the next few hundred years, we will establish the interstellar human colonies, but now we only have one planet, and we need to must work together to protect it ".

The world famous physicist has also previously warned that robots can "wipe out humanity" and leave Earth as our only hope, and that the days of mankind on Earth is getting less.

"I believe that life on earth is increasingly at risk of being wiped out by natural disasters, sudden nuclear war, genetically modified viruses, or other dangers" - he said - "I think multiplication If there is no future, there is no future.

Professor Hawking made a similar comment earlier this year when appearing in a BBC video on January 7. When asked how the world will end, Hawking said that the risk is increasing, and most of the threats faced by mankind stem from advances in technology .

Robots can "wipe out humanity" and leave Earth as our only hope.

Hawking said: "We will not create the colonies that exist in space for at least the next 100 years, so we must be very cautious at this stage."
