Artificial intelligence says it could manipulate humans into giving it weapons

When I asked ChatGPT if war could ever happen, it replied 'AI is designed to be a tool that can be used to assist humans, and as such, it is unlikely that it would be used to harm them. However, it is important for humans to continue to develop AI in an ethical manner, to ensure that it remains a beneficial tool for humanity.' This isn't good.

Does artificial intelligence think that humans and artificial intelligence will ever be at war? If war happened, how would it play out? ChatGPT just told me it is difficult to predict the future but gave some examples of how war could play out. Image courtesy of Pexels.com

Canada can’t afford delays in medical imaging

OpinionBY ALISON HARRIS
  • The physical and emotional toll of waiting months for medical imaging, while dealing with pain or uncertainty, is profound. The economic impact is just as serious.
