20 Issue 78 / 2015 TECHNOLOGY guestlist.net AI HAS StepHen HAwkIng worrIed "Artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race" says Hawking We are always moving further towards being slaves to technology. We want digital assistants, self-driving vehicles and robot helpers. All these could cause our demise, that's what Stephen Hawking declared in an interview recently. He has again warned that humankind will likely face an uncertain future as technology learns be autonomous. He declared to the BBC that: "The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race. Looking further ahead, there are no fundamental limits to what can be achieved. There is no physical law precluding particles from being organised in ways that perform even more advanced computations than the arrangements of particles in human brains." The scientist along with more than 1,000 robotics experts and artificial intelligence (AI) researchers - such as technologist Elon Musk, and philosopher Noam Chomsky – has also signed a letter asking for a ban on autonomous dangerous weapons, or 'killer robots'. The letter, developed by the Future of Life Institute is warning of the danger of starting a military AI arms race. Robotics could drive the development armed drones that search and kill specific people based on their programming. Drones, which are now controlled by humans who are often thousands of miles away from the warzone. "AI technology has reached a point where the deployment of such systems is - practically if not legally - feasible within years, not decades." Robotic weapons could be useful to terrorists, dictators, and those waging wars. These weapons mean we could be in danger of experiencing a nightmarish "Terminator" scenario. As well as adding some green to the old railway coal sidings and being a place to walk, cycle and enjoy in its own right, the elevated park will also connect the communities of Queens Road and Rye Lane. Bridging the gap between the busy high streets will increase visitors to the area, boost trade and grow the network of local community groups. The response has been positive so far and now the group need funds to bring the project to life – the costs include a feasibility study and an asset protection agreement as well as for workshops and events to engage the community. So far Peckham Coal Line has raised over £8000 but there's still a long way to go to reach their £66, 211 target.
