Stephen Hawking: AI could end up with humans.

Stephen Hawking is a very important Physic-Mathematic who has worked his whole life cosmology and univerasl origin projects. Now that he is older he has been working on quite philosophical problems that may be createb by science, or may affect its action. An example of this fact would be the artificial inteligence. This human creation also known as AI consists on giving intelligence to something which hasn't been born in a natural way. With every single statement that comes out from his mouth, he clearly shows his rejectment to this part of the scientific development. He purposes that this androids or cyborgs will end up with humanity. The fact that we give intelligence to something that can improve itself it's dangerous because if we give them a conscience we are giving them an instinct, and the first of all the instinct "laws" is that the strongest controls the weakest. This is why Hawkings thinks that if we create inmortal creatures, made of steel and for militar purposes they are going to develop their missions against their creators who try to reduce the limits of their self improvement, the humans.

 I think that humans, now, want to keep on a progressing way that is just used for destroying capabilities. If you go to the technological department of some newspapers, they just talk about robots created with militar purposes. This is what I think that is very dangerous. Robots with killing capabilities may not be able to decide if they kill or not, or even to auto improve themselves but this, by now, is seen as positive progress. We have created this beings with our own mistakes rather than our capabilities, so they will tend to make the same mistakes we used to. Let's consider a prehistorical example. Homo Sapiens was nothing more than brutal mutant of Homo neanderthalensis species. It was quite more developed so it could easily improve better than his brother in arms. We all know the end of this story now, because there are no neanderthals in our society (not in the evolutive way at least).

To sum up, I completely disagree with the development of AI, and I think that humans may not give their concessions to things created with their same standards.
