Humans should get ‘out of the loop’ of artificial intelligence systems, UTS roboticist Professor Mary-Anne Williams argued last week at an Australian Human Rights Commission technology conference in Sydney.
For the second time in 12 months, technology industry leaders have signed a pledge not to participate in the manufacture, trade or use of lethal autonomous weapons.
Australian researchers in robotics and artificial intelligence have called on Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull to take a stand against weaponising AI.
A machine doesn’t have to be that advanced in its artificial intelligence capabilities to be dangerous, it just needs to have a high level of autonomy, according to Toby Walsh, AI researcher at Data61 (formerly NICTA).
Technologists and leaders in artificial intelligence research worldwide have signed a letter that urges the United Nations to ban the development and use of autonomous weapons.
