Over fifty leading world experts in the field artificial intelligence research announced a boycott South Korean Institute of Advanced Technology (KAIST) in Daejeon.
Extremely prestigious research institution was criticized for being in one of these laboratories began the development of weapons based on artificial intelligence. Scientists told the administration about their indignation State Institute in an open letter. That’s what it says in this message:
While the UN is actively discussing issues containment of autonomous weapons to ensure international security, KAIST intends to accelerate the race armaments using those scientific achievements that are most dangerous to humanity. This fact causes us great regret, so we have to boycott any kind cooperation with the institute until we receive assurances of that any development of weapons capable of function without human intervention. Even weapon makers must respect human rights and follow modern ethical norms and standards.

It is worth noting that KAIST has some of the most advanced scientific and robotic laboratories in the world, so concerns scientists from other countries can be understood. Recall that Steve Wozniak, Elon Musk, the late Stephen Hawking and a number of other reputable professionals have repeatedly been called upon by world governments to impose restrictions, and even better, a ban on the development of weapons systems with using artificial intelligence.
Scientists are sure that such a weapon is a real box Pandora, who, if opened, will no longer be possible slam the lid, finally afraid of what we have done. If rockets and bombs controlled by artificial intelligence, the consequences of the further development of mankind are difficult even imagine. Films about something like Terminator or “Matrix”, may seem like amusing fantasies compared to the brutal reality that awaits our Earth …
