it's time to talk about our future robot overlords I'm Bridget Carey and this is your scene that update will artificial intelligence be the end of mankind some of Technology's biggest leaders including Stephen Hawking Bill Gates and Elon Musk have spoken out against giving robots AI warning that super intelligent machines can pose a threat to human existence musk the chief executive of SpaceX and Tesla Motors has gone so far to say that AI is potentially more dangerous than nuclear weapons and we may end up facing a scenario portrayed in the movie Terminator when robots rise up against us we're faced with those concerns again in the upcoming Sony Pictures movie chappie in the near future crime is controlled by a robotic police force and when a programmer gives one of those robots consciousness it can think and feel for itself it doesn't turn on humans it trusts humans like a child would trust their parents the chappie robot isn't so far-fetched when you look at what's being done now in robotics DARPA's walking robot the atlas has a power source on its back it can walk without needing support arms and legs have a range of motion and strength Google created a robotic dog named spot that doesn't fall when you kick it google also has a team working on artificial intelligence the team revealed they created a computer that can teach itself how to play Atari games from scratch without instructions so perhaps this is the perfect time for a movie like chappie to come out I got to sit down with the stars of the film Hugh Jackman Sigourney Weaver and Charlene oko plea to get their thoughts on a world with AI robots you all choppy yeah did the movie change your shape your opinion about AI I think when a movie has a bad computer in it it to me it's just been programmed by the wrong person I think if anyone is to blame it's humans behind the robots when it comes to the robots in the movie is there a certain line that you would draw on what kind of robot you be comfortable with having in your home perhaps it mustn't have weapons let's just let's say that it must have a very easily accessible off switch would you want to live in a world with robots that have AI yeah I'd be totally interested I'm someone genuinely who thinks that most of these advances will helps not destroy us you know it would be difficult to have like a surly robot then I would take it back to the store I also worked on Wally and to have a lovable robot is sudden you would enhance your life so much chappie opens in theaters Friday that's it for update from our studios in New York I am Bridget
