Social media, for all the benefits it brings, makes it
easier than ever before for terrorist organizations to spread their
hateful messages, Sheryl Sandberg of Facebook told participants.
We have
already seen how the hateful and highly provocative messages in the
Internet discussion groups and blogs could lead to the death of hateful
preachers, founders and writers.
Perhaps, more frightening than a terrorist organization or a hateful website that spreads hatred around the globe with a global reach is the idea that the technology could one day lead to humanity’s demise.
Already world-known experts are warning about the artificial intelligence (AI). Consider, e.g., Professor Stephen Hawking who warned last year that artificially intelligent machines could kill us because they are too clever. Such computers could become so competent that they kill us by accident, Hawking has warned.
According to Angela Kane, Sr. Fellow of Vienna Center for Disarmament and Non-Proliferation, “The monopoly of the conduct of war could soon be taken out of the hands of humans.”
