Next generation robots won’t try to kill humans, study finds

The trend of robots turning against their makers is a common theme in science fiction.

The Stanford University-hosted project represents a standing committee of AI scientists.

The AI100 project is on-going but will not issue reports annually — the next one will be published “in a few years.”

The first report, Artificial Intelligence and Life in 2030, downloadable at this link, looks at how advances in AI will make a difference in the U.S. between now and 2030.

Areas of change explored by the report include transportation, healthcare, education, the workplace, and policing and public safety.
