> Down the road, he is worried that future versions of the technology pose a threat to humanity because they often learn unexpected behavior from the vast amounts of data they analyze. This becomes an issue, he said, as individuals and companies allow A.I. systems not only to generate their own computer code but actually run that code on their own. And he fears a day when truly autonomous weapons — those killer robots — become reality. > “The idea that this stuff could actually get smarter than people — a few people believed that,” he said. “But most people thought it was way off. And I thought it was way off. I thought it was 30 to 50 years or even longer away. Obviously, I no longer think that.” Of course I read the article. > What technology/inventions out there that _can't_ and _isn't_ used for bad? I'm worried about security. I see products deployed today that I would not feel comfortable deploying or using myself. Sometimes the mistakes are embarrassingly basic (Hey OpenAI, why on earth are arbitrary remote images embeddable in GPT responses? There is no reason for the client to support that.) So this is not a theoretical risk to me. It's a different concern than the philosophy.
