Elon Musk, Stephen Hawking, and a host of other science and tech luminaries today added their names to a document from the Future of Life Institute called, "Autonomous Weapons: an Open Letter from AI & Robotics Researchers." The text of the letter, presented at the International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Buenos Aires, Argentina, calls for stopping a weaponized AI arms race in its tracks before countries and companies are forced to compete with each other to build deadlier and deadlier autonomous weapons.
