[AI robot (from the movie 'I-Robot'): Detective, please consider me as a friend when we meet again.] The idea



that an artificial intelligence robot with a human-like self is trying to rule the world is the story of a science-fiction movie. It was an old subject.



However, this controversy arose in reality.



It is claimed that the AI ​​being developed by Google in the US has the level of self-consciousness of a 7-8 year old child.



A Google researcher claimed that when an artificial intelligence named Lambda was asked, "What are you afraid of?", the answer was "It's scary to stop working" and "It would be like death."



But Google fired the researcher, saying it wasn't true.

He said that he saved the reactions of the people he talked to, and took out one of them and wrote it down.

Beyond leaving this issue to development companies, discussion should take place at the social level. It's time to do it.
