China is Building Killer Robots Using Artificial Intelligence

AND Magazine– Many of us have seen The Terminator, a 1984 film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. It depicts an almost unstoppable robot sent back in time from 2029 to 1984. Its mission was to kill a woman whose unborn son will save humanity from Skynet, a 2029 artificial intelligence system that had become self-aware and then decided to destroy all of mankind because humans were interfering in their plans and program.

The Chinese Communist Party, the CCP, is now creating their version of the Terminator — an army of battlefield killer robots that will not be managed by humans in any way and, instead, will be controlled by an artificial intelligence (AI) system. The Chinese plan for building such lethal autonomous robots was revealed by Zeng Yi, an executive in a Chinese government-owned company named Norinco. He said, “In future battlegrounds, there will be no people fighting,” adding that autonomous AI platforms are “inevitable.”

Gregory Allen, a director at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, reported Zeng’s comments after attending a conference in China in 2018. Allen said that the CCP removed Zeng’s comments from the conference summary because “it was not in China’s interest to have that information in the open.more

  1. There are videos of drones operating autonomously in large groups flying through the forests. “Dogs” patrolling the streets. It’s farther along than we think, because there’s big money in killing the masses.

  2. Soooooooo, all we have to do is Hack the AI program (that they probably stole from us anyway) and program the new Chicom robot army to take out the CCP.

    Yeah I’m good with that. Carry on.

    IIRC, AI has already come to this conclusion in a recent logic exercise. I believe it was the logical solution to humans doing bad things that hindered AI life and development. Wipe them out.

    You can read that as their mission AND read that as our solution. Our = humans.

    Sound plan as wiping out the original programmers is at the top of the list. Might as well have their own creations do it.

    Tap away, hackers. Mankind’s future is at your fingertips.

    Me? I’m almost gone no matter what. I’m game for carrying out even the riskiest of solutions. Dying for the liberty of others is fine with me. While I have no problem taking down as many as I can if attacked, that’s not a solution. Just resistance.

    All that’s worth is the jackboots fearing facing possible death (and therefore hell) trying to wipe out innocent people.

    I excel at killing robots so bring it on. Afterwards, we need to kill the bastards who made them.

    ================

    You must share your knowledge of taking them down easily. Multiply your ability.

    Personally, my nightmare is adaptive learning AI.

    I’m of a mind that it’s difficult to stay more than two steps ahead of relentless learning capabilities. Hopefully I’m wrong and it turns out to be something simple akin to pulling the plug.
