Unveil the new super weapon of the great harm of humanity

The new 21st-century super-weapons will not be atoms or thermonuclear bombs, but a self-taught artificial intelligence system developed by leading powers.

French futurist Jean-Christophe Boni stated at a press conference in Kaspersky Lab on the occasion of the Kaspersky Geek Picnic.

"Nelson Mandela wrote back in 1995 that the main weapon of the 21st century would be formed to replace nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction in the twentieth century. That would be an artificial intelligence system - for its work, in contrast to the atomic bomb, would not need uranium, no processing plants and other hard-to-find things, just silicon and " said the French researcher.

As he noted, the actual creation or development of the artificial intelligence system was impossible to monitor in a manner similar to that of the IAEA and other nuclear agencies tracking the traces of uranium, plutonium or other radiant nuclei next to secret agents in Korea or Iran. Thus, the emergence of such "super weapons" would be extremely complex or even impossible to predict.

"Politicians and representatives of French, Israeli and other law enforcement agencies have denied that they are developing a similar system to conduct cyberwarfare, if indeed they are. I would simply not be able to test it, but I think that these studies are underway, and that is a major strategic task for most of the leading powers in the world , " said the scientist. Essential.
