Can’t be that bad. You’ve managed to make it this far with artificial intelligence.

I’m sorry. That’s an insult to artificial intelligence.

putting AI on missiles?

want skynet? because this is how you get skynet

didn’t the chinese download ANY of the terminator movies??

Artificial Intelligence?

I'm not sure letting their missiles watch CNN is a good move.

When people hear the term AI they get spooked. Probably what we're talking about here is “machine learning” where algorithms and/neural networks are “trained” using simulations and large datasets To create software engines that solve specific tasks or functions. It is used in situations where procedural code is not flexible enough to account for all of the variable inputs. It is a method that “gives computers the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed” are certain specific tasks like a ton of those vehicles, targeting solutions, voice recognition, optical optical character recognition, etc. The Chinese are not building missiles that “contemplate the nature of reality” as they zoom along to blow something up, they're just very good at a specific task.

If you are contemplating AI in the sense of a computer/robot that mimics a human being, that digital creation would be a collection/layering of software engines built using many different types of programming techniques: neural networks, learning algorithms, procedural code, etc. much like the human brain which is composed of many different parts.

A “human-like” AI would have to have software components specifically developed for processing sensory input that in turn are synthesized by other layers of AI that are used to filter/interpret/mediate these input which in turn are overlaid with AI engines for speech recognition, interpretation of emotions, threat detection, etc. after all this is done and the AI construct makes decisions and the size on actions and the flipside is true as these outputs would be handed off to a I can points to handle motion, balance, Power management, motor management, etc.

An illustrative example would be how you, as a human, talk. When talking you don't consciously think about how to move every muscle that makes words come out. There are a lot of neurological processes that work together operating below the conscious level to make that happen. It is as complex as the 2 billion years of life evolving have made possible.

What could possibly go wrong?

A smart bomb would decide not to blow up!
