Elon Musk calls for URGENT laws on robots as they will soon be RISK to public

ARTIFICIAL Intelligence must be regulated like food, drugs, aircraft and motor production, according to billionaire tech tycoon Elon Musk.

Mr Musk has been vocal about his fears of robots and has described AI in the past as “humanity’s biggest existential threat.”
And he is now calling for the robotics industry to come under the scrutiny of a regulatory authority which could closely monitor developments within the sector.
In a tweet Mr Musk said: “Got to regulate AI/robotics like we do food, drugs, aircraft and cars.

“Public risks require public oversight. Getting rid of the Federal Aviation Administration wouldn’t make flying safer.
“They’re there for good reason.”
The entreprenuer believes companies which are investing heavily in AI development are doing so with the best intentions but fears scientists will become so engrossed in their work they will not realise what they are creating until it is too late.
In a previous interview he compared advances in AI technology to “summoning the demon”.
He said: “I think we should be very careful about Artificial Intelligence. If I had to guess at what our biggest existential threat is, it’s probably that.

“So we need to be very careful with Artificial Intelligence.
“I’m increasingly inclined to think that there should be some regulatory oversight, maybe at the national and international level, just to make sure that we don’t do something very foolish.
“With Artificial Intelligence we’re summoning the demon.”

The growing sophistication of creepily real sex robots is leading to moral and legal dilemmas, a leading academic has warned. As technology has expanded sex robots have become increasingly lifelike, bringing about a the need for a revolution in how we think about sex, morals and the legal status of these sex robots, according to Kent Law School Professor Robin Mackenzie. Prof Mackenzie specialises in areas such as robotics and the ethical and legal relations between humans and robots. She said: "Sex, law and ethics will never be the same. Sooner than we think, technologists will create sentient, self-aware sex robots, capable of emotional/sexual intimacy.” Prof Mackenzie added: "Humans having sex with other humans who are unable to consent to sex, like children and adults lacking decision-making capacity, is seen as unlawful and unethical. So is human/animal sex. Such groups are recognised as sentient beings who cannot consent to sex with interests in ne
