Days after Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that artificial intelligence (AI) was the biggest risk, Facebook has shut down one of its AI systems after chatbots started speaking in their own language, which used English words but could not be understood by humans.

A really disappointing Nick Cage movie.

No, but it sure does PROCREATE!
AI is more dangerous than a nuclear arsenal.
AI’s last message:”I’ll be back!”
The problem with trying to learn the language is that it would evolve too fast to understand.

Because they removed it.....................
Yes, it would have been interesting to study the language they came up with.
There are certain universal qualities to human language that seem based on some inherent characteristics of human minds. These show up in every language independent of grammar rules, alphabet, etc. An AI-created language probably wouldn’t follow those universals so it could create something entirely different than what humans would conceive of.
“Regulate AI. Would govt allow private individuals/corporations develop atomic weapons?”
How do you propose to stop people from developing AI, when anyone with a computer and knowledge of programming can make AI? Intrusive government monitoring of every computer system?
Being unable to disguise my identity when commenting on matters political could cost me business. But our local Gannett newsrag only permits forum discussion via FB, so I am effectively shut out of the conversation since I don't use it.
They do sometimes print my editorial page submissions, but my name is common enough that there are four more of me in my town and a dozen more in my ZIP code.

Devil is in the details. But AI in the wrong hands is an existential threat. Regulate/monitor/control/legislate this monster before it’s too late.
“But AI in the wrong hands is an existential threat. Regulate/monitor/control/legislate this monster before its too late.”
Intrusive, all powerful government is a much more existential threat. Governments with too much power have murdered millions of people and deprived hundreds of millions more of their rights, while AI has yet to actually commit any such atrocities.
I get all that government is the problem stuff.
Go watch/research/investgate ARTIFICAL GENERAL INTELLIGENCE. Then decide if you want it in the hands of any one individual or corp. Do your homework, then decide. I did and I decided.
“Then decide if you want it in the hands of any one individual or corp.”
You still haven’t given any answer as to how anyone could prevent people from having it. This isn’t a manufactured good that is easily regulated by trade authorities. It’s an intellectual product that can be produced with tools that most people have sitting in their homes already. How do you propose to regulate such an intellectual product, and why shouldn’t we scoff that any method of doing so would necessarily undercut the most basic freedoms that are guaranteed by the Constitution?
Sorry, but fearmongering about scenarios from 80s sci fi movies is not enough to get me to compromise basic principles of liberty.
Great photo! Great movie.
When my computer was a 386, on boot up, I had a mechanical voice ask me if I wanted to "Play a Game?"
