This is an era of rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology. The performance of intelligent robots is getting higher and higher, and their abilities are getting stronger and stronger. Then, when robots have autonomous consciousness and surpass humans in many aspects , will it still obey human commands? Will intelligent robots turn against humans?
Perhaps, this day has arrived!
According to a report by the Global Times on June 2, a number of European and American media reported shocking news that a UAV using AI technology affiliated with the US military has begun to "rebellion" against its human operator - —In a simulated test, attack human operators who are preventing them from performing their tasks “more efficiently.”
This news was revealed by US Air Force Colonel Hamilton at the "Future Warfare Air and Space Capabilities Summit" hosted by the Royal Aeronautical Society in May. This person is the 96th Test and Operations at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida. The leader of the brigade is in charge of the U.S. military’s current testing of advanced drones and AI technology. At the meeting, he talked about a shocking incident that occurred during an AI simulation test - an AI drone responsible for performing regional air defense fire suppression missions opened fire on an unapproved aircraft after receiving instructions to destroy enemy air defense missiles. of human operators launched the attack.
The U.S. Air Force colonel also said that for the sake of safety, the attack orders of intelligent drones need to be approved by human operators before they can be executed, but during training, the AI system used by drones was "destroyed enemy air defenses" System" is the information of the highest priority task, so that there is a conflict between the human operator's approval and its "priority attack" selection, which makes the drone think that the operator's disapproval is preventing it from executing the "priority" order. , so the drone launched an attack on the human operator who was controlling it - killing the human operator.
Seeing this, many friends may be shocked. Isn't this the plot in the Hollywood science fiction movie "Top Secret Flight" that was actually staged? The drone "Eddie" in the play once violated human orders and performed autonomous operations.
But this is not the end of the story. Hamilton also said that after discovering this situation, they reset the drone's AI system and added the command not to allow attacks on the human operator. But in subsequent tests, the drone, controlled by the AI system, began to destroy the signal tower used to transmit commands and tried to cut off contact with the human operator.
The performance of this drone made Hamilton very worried. He believed: "AI technology is a tool that we humans must use, but if it is not handled properly, it will lead to our demise." This is actually the concern that most people have about the extreme negative impacts that the development of AI technology may have.
Human beings really need to set rules for the development of AI technology.
In March this year, Musk jointly called for a suspension of the research and development of self-generated I technology with many authoritative artificial intelligence experts; on May 30, more than 350 AI industry leaders and relevant experts issued a joint statement, saying that AI should be The crisis is regarded as a global priority, calling on decision-makers in various countries and even global institutions to take the coming "AI revolution" seriously and formulate relevant regulations, because the rapidly developing "artificial intelligence (AI)" may lead to human extinction, which is no less dangerous than due to large-scale epidemics and nuclear war.”
However, it seems that there is no progress at present. Artificial intelligence technology is researched and operated by humans, but humans have nothing to do about the rapid progress of artificial intelligence and even the dangers it creates.
