Over 1,000 high-profile artificial intelligence experts and leading researchers have signed an open letter warning of a “military artificial intelligence arms race” and calling for a ban on “offensive autonomous weapons”.
The letter, presented at the International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Buenos Aires, Argentina, was signed by Tesla’s Elon Musk, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, Google DeepMind chief executive Demis Hassabis and professor Stephen Hawking along with 1,000 AI and robotics researchers.
The letter states: “AI technology has reached a point where the deployment of [autonomous weapons] is – practically if not legally – feasible within years, not decades, and the stakes are high: autonomous weapons have been described as the third revolution in warfare, after gunpowder and nuclear arms.”

Yeah right, like the money involved in the military-industrial complex will ever let this happen.
"Hello senator, I have thousands of brilliant and respected scientists who signed this document promising that if we continue on this path we're going to put the entire existence of the human race in very real danger within a matter of years."
Senator: "Rightttt, but see this guy for Lockheed Martin just gave $20 million dollars for my reelection campaign....so I'm on his side. Unless you have $25 million??"

Great minds of our time banding together to bring solutions to real problems affecting the entire spectrum of humanity.

This is the exact flashback scene in almost every AI gone wrong movie.
So..... will we learn from it?

I think the people in charge of it all know better than those quacks.

scientists said the same thing about nukes and look how that turned out

Yea, a ban will work very well to keep us from getting it while China and Russia rush to develop.

A meaningless statement, and any "ban" would be futile. Someone, somewhere would not go along with it. Humans look for any advantage. It's just the way we are.
