What would be even more terrifying than terrorism? It is artificial intelligence!

In the future, terrorist organizations can take advantage of AI to bring out more terrible attacks now.

Terrorist organizations are still a constant threat in many parts of the world. But in the future, there will be another challenge even more terrible than terrorism. That is .

Specifically, this is a recent warning by Jim Al-Khalili , professor of physics from the University of Surrey (United Kingdom). He was very concerned with the current rapid development of AI, while not having clear control.

Al-Khalili - professor of physics warns about the future of AI.

Al-Khalili said, in the future, AI will make developed countries like the UK easy to become targets of cybercrime attacks. At the same time, they will have to cope with increasing unemployment, after the AI ​​takes over people in many different jobs.

"A few years ago if I was asked about great challenges for people in the future, I would definitely talk about climate change, drug-resistant bacteria, food shortages, and terrorism," he said.

"But now, I'm sure the most important issue we need to discuss is the future of AI. The development of artificial intelligence will have a far greater impact than other issues."

"The current level of hackers is very scary, there is nothing to stop terrorists from attacking security networks in the future. They can hack the power supply system, transport system. , even the military bank system ".

"Obviously, we are not controlling the development of AI. The current problem is the ability of AI to lead to an imbalance in work. People lose their jobs, the unemployment rate increases, and leave a big gap for people ".

The first robot in the world to be a citizen of a country - Sophia - also has a very respectable AI system.

In fact, the development of AI has been predicted to bring a revolution bigger than the internet. However, this is not the first time scholars have been concerned about this. When AI and technology grow too fast without control, there will be a few companies and corporations that become really powerful.

The threat of AI is even compared with genetic modification technology in biology. If not careful, both can endanger human society.

"We need to pay more attention. If the public does not care, the authorities will not pay attention. And if not controlled, AI can be disastrous."

For example, if the AI ​​is armed - like a gun-mounted drone or a bomb, things will become extremely terrible.

According to Al-Khalii, many people are still thinking that AI is the story of the very far future. But on the contrary, it is gradually becoming a part of our lives. It's Apple's Siri, Amazon's Alexa, and countless other machine-learning algorithms for Facebook and Google.

In the future, AI can restructure our entire society. But changing in which direction - good or bad - needs to be strictly controlled. That's what Professor Al-Khalili wants to say.
