American Family News: Warning - 'Bad actors' capable of using AI to ensnare the gullible

Fox Business reported on Monday that Geoffrey Hinton, a Google engineer who is recognized the "godfather of AI," has quit his job, offering this warning: "It is hard to see how you can prevent the bad actors from using it for bad things."
American Family News spoke to Patrick Riley, the CEO of many financial technology startups and a retired Army staff sergeant. Like Hinton, Riley is gravely concerned about the future of artificial intelligence technology – a concern based largely on what those bad actors could do with it. "While it's easy to imagine the many potential benefits of the emerging AI trend," Riley says, "there's a reason Elon Musk and thousands of others called for a full stop on AI development."
In 2014, long before Musk and others expressed their thoughts, British theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking issued this warning: "The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race."
