On Dangers of Artificial Intelligence

Manfred Sneps-Sneppe

Abstract


Geoffrey Hinton in his Nobel Prize speech (2024) pointed out the existential dangers of Artificial Intelligence to humanity: “There is a longer-term existential threat that will arise when we create digital beings that are more intelligent than ourselves. We have no idea whether we can stay in control.” The paper concerns a joke on a drone with artificial intelligence that destroyed its operator, some cases of autonomous weapons powered by AI, and the real story of the Potomac River mid-air collision in 2025. In conclusion, Hinton’s words about the dangers of Artificial Intelligence sound prophetic: “Oppenheimer moment in AI area is coming: autonomous weapons enter the battlefield.”
