University Of Cambridge Scientists Are Working To Quell Rise Of The Machines

Artificial intelligence has come a long way and still work continues to promote its use and development even though some big voices in the industry have voiced their concern about this technology. Hollywood has already filled our minds with images of a time when machines become more intelligent than people and rise up against the humans, it may not be that dramatic but a team of scientists, sociologists and philosophers at the University of Cambridge are working to quell just that.

The team at the University of Cambridge is going to look at the opportunities presented and the threats posed by further development of artificial intelligence, it’s important to try and find out what it’s going to be like in the future, as many believe that by the end of the century human-level artificial intelligence can really happen.

The team has been brought together by the University of Cambridge, they get a multi-million pound grant from the Leverhulme Trust research fund to find out what course AI may take in the future. “At present, however, we have barely begun to consider its ramifications, good or bad,” says Professor Huw Price, the director of this facility.

Who knows what happens in the future, perhaps machines may become more intelligent than people, it’s not bad to entertain that possibility right now and perhaps get some idea of what’s to happen several decades down the line.
