  • We all know how it ends: the machines rise up to enslave their puny masters. Robots and artificial intelligences (AI) may so far have confined themselves to blameless pursuits such as vacuum cleaning, beating us at board games and recommending products we might also like. But as they continue their inexorable rise, entering a singularity of runaway self-improvement, they will inevitably turn their attention to robopocalypse. Stephen Hawking says AI could spell the end for humanity. Elon Musk thinks it could lead to world war three. Vladimir Putin says whoever controls Al will control the world. Far from being a steady march to greatness, the past and present of robotics and Al are littered with examples of banal practicalities tying machines down. If you want to look at what the future of AI really holds, it's not the highlight reels that matter--it's the out-takes.
