The campaign to ban autonomous bots that act in swarms and have the ability to decide to kill a human on http://autonomousweapons.org has produced an amazing video that is worth watching.
The question of AI applied to daily objects is put in concrete terms in this simulation, not just as an intellectual discussion. In the video a parallel is made with nuclear deterrence and proliferation control approaches, which is quite worth pondering.
Like all technologies AI will bring a huge number of benefits and also its downside. Will humankind be wise enough?
