This is a strawman. Elon's idea and what Andrew is countering is that killer robots can be unintentionally created by someone trying to do good.
Evil robots could always be created by evil actors, and there is nothing interesting here.
- narrator 9y agoLook at the ransomware and DDOS botnet epidemics though. If these programs were to infect and control self-driving cars all sorts of science fiction level bad stuff could happen.
- skgoa 9y agoYes, but that is a computer security issue (and a damn important one!), not an ML issue.
- Ace17 9y agoNot saying that creating military killer robots counts as "trying to do good", however ... if we're talking about a terminator-like scenario, let's not forget the robots from the movie initially are human-designed military appliances.
- rytill 9y agoPossibly by someone trying to do good. More likely by someone just following their rational incentives. Very few people are 'evil' actors but most follow incentives.
