Robot learns how to cook and use tools by watching YouTube videos

[T90TankGuy]

hmm?
Did Titanic 've that dialogue??
I'll have to watch that movie again now. Lol.

grrrrrrrr
you think men marry women because they need chefs in their kitchens????

My wife cant cook , we have a full time cook for that . She is busy with her work , Plus i knew my wife was a career woman when i married her.
Plus the kitchen is my domain , men are the best cooks

Fears over advancements in artificial intelligence
The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence has led prominent scientists and entrepreneurs to warn mankind could be in danger if such developments are not kept in check.

Last month, theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking stated the human race could be superseded by such technology.

"The primitive forms of artificial intelligence we already have, have proved very useful. But I think the development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race," Hawking said.

"It would take off on its own and redesign itself at an ever increasing rate. Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution, couldn't compete, and would be superseded."

Hawking's thoughts echoed the sentiments of Elon Musk, founder and CEO of Tesla and SpaceX. Musk claimed last year that the development of artificial intelligence was akin to "summoning the devil" and could be humanity's "biggest existential threat".

I take this part very seriously.

Sorry, but I remain very skeptical of claims about artificial intelligence.
We have seen way too much hype over the decades which failed to deliver.

Will wait and see...

Perhaps closer than you think, when people start seeing the pilot as the weak point in air combat some one will design an alternative. A military autonoums system doesnt have to pass a turing test, navigate, aquire, aviod and destroy does it matter if its A.I. its still a robot that kills with out a human in the loop past software design.

I didn't read the whole article (20 pages) but I don't think it is talking about the same thing.
AI implies the ability to learn from events and the apply that learning to unforeseen circumstances.

Do these systems have the programming to decide what is and is not a valid target and to activate lethal weapons onto it without human intervention?

Though an interesting read yes perhaps a little long a few bullet points.

Yes the systems not only identify a target but have the "smarts" to asses a target for vunerable points.

Where the chain of command goes from machine to human is a variable. The balance being the more human control the more delays and the more signal noise, the greater autonomy the system is granted the

Each craft is autonomus but shares data with a central control so not only does each unit learn from a sucess or failure but that data is shared with every other unit.

The kicker:
Functional and subsequent political displacement of the
fighter pilot may be an emotionally charged idea, but our developmental
priorities must reflect the need to preserve our Airmen, fleet, and
sovereignty. Being second to market with tactically autonomous UAVs
adds risk. Whether the technology reaches viability next year or in 30
years, its present-day versions prompt us to analyze the logic of their
potential. If the machine pilot can usurp the organic one’s most prized
art form, then that ability raises the question of why any nation would
seek a human-inhabited sixth-generation fighter—even if both options
were similarly priced.

I still feel that allowing autonomous systems to decide what is a legitimate target for lethal force -- outside of programmed bounds and based on heuristic analyses -- is a dangerous concept.

That's not to say that countries wouldn't be developing, or even deploying, such systems in combat zones where the cost of miscalculation or misidentification is borne by the enemy, but the proof of this pudding would be to deploy such systems in one's own civilian neighborhood, e.g. police or swat raids. I don't see countries having enough confidence in their autonomous systems to trust them in making friend or foe decisions on their own soil.amid their own populace. Recommendations (submitted for human approval), sure, but not autonomous use of lethal force.

Sadly absolutley correct, colateral damage in Iraq causes a lot fewer problems than a single black guy being shot in the US
