Linux Founder: Fears AI Could End Human Race Are ‘Bad Sci-Fi’

(7.7.2015) Linux founder Linus Torvalds says he does not share the views that artificial intelligence (AI) represents a threat to the human race, describing such fears as ‘bad’ science fiction.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Professor Stephen Hawking and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak are among the technology and science figures to express their worries, with Musk donating $10 million to protect us from the impending threat and Wozniak saying machines will eventually treat humans like pets.
