Building on his apocalyptic vision of the future (as writ by Terminator-style Skynet domination or Robocops walking the streets), Tesla CEO Elon Musk (and 115 other like-minded ‘experts’) have penned an open letter to The United Nations urging the outright ban of the development and use of killer robots.
As a reminder, Musk previously called on the government to proactively regulate artificial intelligence before things advance too far.
‘Until people see robots going down the street killing people, they don’t know how to react because it seems so ethereal,’ he said.
‘AI is a rare case where I think we need to be proactive in regulation instead of reactive. Because I think by the time we are reactive in AI regulation, it’s too late.’
