MOSCOW (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin says that whoever reaches a breakthrough in developing artificial intelligence will come to dominate the world.
Putin, speaking Friday at a meeting with students, said the development of AI raises "colossal opportunities and threats that are difficult to predict now."
He warned that "the one who becomes the leader in this sphere will be the ruler of the world."
Putin warned that "it would be strongly undesirable if someone wins a monopolist position" and promised that Russia would be ready to share its know-how in artificial intelligence with other nations.
The Russian leader predicted that future wars will be fought by drones, and "when one party's drones are destroyed by drones of another, it will have no other choice but to surrender."

Because now, along with the threats of nuclear war, runaway climate change, antibiotic resistant infections, and the increasing prevalence of police states, it's official that we will get to see what happens when we have an arms race of autonomous weapons and software.

Yeah, he's right. Totally agree.
Hes right to be afraid. Machine time scales are far removed from human ones, so even if we create something that is only as smart as the average high schooler, it will be able to think hundreds if not thousands of times faster.
He might actually be getting ahead of himself if he thinks humans can retain control of something like that.
And it won't be nessasarily malevolent towards us, much like we aren't to the ant we step on along our way to grab a bite. Just different goals that don't align at that time.
