Artificial Intelligence is on the brink of success and is nearing major advancements in human knowledge. Yang (2017) indicates that countless times has artificial intelligence been the subject of big name corporations such as Apple, Google, IBM, and even Facebook. The reality is that these major corporations and many more smaller companies just like them, are closer than we think to biggest advancement in mankind.

This has lead to many to ponder the true safety of Artificial Intelligence, what happens if it grows too smart and leaves human minds …show more content…

Recent outlash by Elon Musk (2017) on the safety of AI and potential threat it poses to mankind has been also backed by Stephen Hawking (2016) who also states that AI are a huge risk for humanity. They state that if humans create a machine smarter than us, we’ll all be doomed. The fact that a machine has all the general knowledge in the world can easily put some concerns in the way. Importantly how do we know when the machine has learned too much? Will we be able to stop it? These questions are the basis for many people opposing the use of
