The rise of the robots could be a genuine threat to the human race, experts have warned, but Google hope to find a way of stopping Artificial Intelligence (AI) from taking over the world.
Developers from the search engine’s artificial intelligence division, DeepMind, have teamed up with Oxford University of science and technology to develop a program called ‘kill switch’ for AI.
Google’s Laurent Orseau and Stuart Armstrong, from the Future of Humanity Institute, say it may be necessary for humans to press a “big red button” to stop AI from carrying out a “harmful sequence of actions”.
