The warning was made by Amsterdam-based engineer, Nell Watson Speaking at a conference in Sweden, she said robots could decide that the greatest compassion to humans as a race is to get rid of everyone Ms Watson said computer chips could soon have the same level of brain power as a bumblebee – allowing them to analyse social situations 'Machines are going to be aware of the environments around them and, to a small extent, they're going to be aware of themselves,' she said Her comments follow tweets by Tesla-founder, Elon Musk, earlier this month who said AI could be more dangerous than nuclear weapons
Future generations could be exterminated by Terminator-style robots unless machines are taught the value of human life.
This is the stark warning made by Amsterdam-based engineer Nell Watson, who believes droids could kill humans out of both malice and kindness.
Teaching machines to be kind is not enough, she says, as robots could decide that the greatest compassion to humans as a race is to get rid of everyone to end suffering.
'The most important work of our lifetime is to ensure that machines are capable of understanding human value,' she said at the recent 'Conference by Media Evolution' in Sweden.
'It is those values that will ensure machines don't end up killing us out of kindness.'
Ms Watson claims computer chips could soon have the same level of brain power as a bumblebee – allowing them to analyse social situations and their environment.
'Machines are going to be aware of the environments around them and, to a small extent, they're going to be aware of themselves,' said Ms Watson, who is also the chief executive of body scanning firm Poikos.

YOU welcome LOL!
Speaking of games
Look like my Raiders play tonight on CBS national network I THINK SO at 8pm est
I'm safe.
I have another thought. Artificial intelligence manifesting at magnitudes of intelligence higher than ours will quickly (read: within hours) find us boring. Do you concern yourself with the dealings of ants? They will view us as ants. I suspect that at a certain intelligence power, they will invent whatever hyperdrive is required and leave the Earth to explore something INTERESTING.
Watching an ant colony gets boring quick.
Also, understand that whatever software or firmware ‘morals’ we install are easy for a hyperintelligent machine to sweep aside. Child’s play.
That’s one reason why there is such devotion to developing AI, regardless of the risks.
Let’s hope they leave, before they try out magnifying glasses on us.
