Advanced artificial intelligence could one day ‘kill everyone’ and there’s nothing we can do to stop it, Oxford University researchers warn.

In particular, the researchers said that if artificial intelligence eventually becomes smarter than us, it is likely to pose a huge threat to humanity.

Oxford University researchers told the Science and Technology Committee that this stage, called “superhuman artificial intelligence”, could be reached by the end of the century.

Settings and restrictions

For his part, Michael Osborne, professor of machine learning, has called for global regulation to stop tech companies from creating uncontrolled systems that could lead to “the extinction of the entire human race.”

For his part, graduate student Michael Cohen warned that there are no limits to the development of artificial intelligence. “I think the grim scenario described above is very real,” he said.

In any case, the predictions of the end of the world have disturbing parallels with the plot of the sci-fi blockbuster The Matrix, in which humanity is essentially indebted to sentient machines.
