British physicist Stephen Hawking laid out his concern over the future of Artificial Intelligence, said a report of paper.wenweipo.com on Jan. 20. He predicted that as science and technologies advance, human beings are facing a big risk of extinction caused by the nuclear war, global warming and genetically altered viruses.
The report noted that Hawking believed human race could survive even though after the disaster through moving to other planets. He warned people to watch out the risk caused by science and technology because human beings still could not build the outer space habitats in the future hundreds of years.
"In the next period of time, it is unlikely that a disaster leading to human extinction would happen on the earth, but the risk will increase gradually and the disaster almost certainly will appear in the future 1,000 years or 10,000 years," Stephen Hawking told the audience on Jan. 18, 2016.
Hawking has ever pointed out that the advanced artificial intelligence may lead to the extinction of human race in future. "All of us will not stop the development of science and technology, but we can timely recognize the potential risks and try to control them with endeavors," he optimistically expressed his opinion.
