Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt made statements about artificial intelligence technologies in an interview. Schmidt, who made a remarkable debut, made a nuclear weapon analogy for the effect of artificial intelligence technologies on wars. Let’s look at the details of these harsh statements.
Artificial intelligence has recently become an integral part of our lives. Today, artificial intelligence technologies are used in high-tech products such as unmanned aerial vehicles and in a simple video game. Many people also interpret artificial intelligence technologies as a positive development. However, according to former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, the development of artificial intelligence technologies will have negative consequences as well as positive results.
“Artificial intelligence will play an active role in the US arming against China”
According to Eric Schmidt, who also worked for the war technologies of the US government for a while, artificial intelligence technologies will be a new playmaker in wars. Because with the developed technologies, the test studies of military vehicles such as tanks are carried out in the computer environment. In addition, intelligence gathering, back-end software and other military hardware have also started to have artificial intelligence support, which will increase the US’s weapons superiority over China.
Artificial intelligence = Nuclear weapon
“Einstein wrote a letter to Roosevelt in the 1930s saying that the new technology that could change the war was nuclear weapons. That letter was very true. I argue that AI technologies and decentralized, distributed systems are just as powerful.” Eric Schmidt, who made a debut in the form of a statement, said that nuclear weapons and artificial intelligence are the same in terms of their power to change wars.
No, Eric Schmidt isn’t trying to say AI is deadly.
The analogy made by Eric Schmidt should be interpreted as “artificial intelligence will kill people”. What the former CEO of Google is trying to explain is that artificial intelligence technologies will change the structure of wars… Thanks to artificial intelligence, both the structure of war equipment will change and wars will take place in software, not on the fronts.
So what do you think about this subject? Will artificial intelligence be as effective as nuclear weapons in terms of its potential? You can share your ideas with us.
