First step to the end of the world or to the next evolution of the human race?

AI, the whole concept of it, brings a shiver to me. The only way we'd be able to "control" such robots (I say that sort of sarcastically as you cant control anything with free will) is to make it weak with many ways to destroy it.

Skynet, The Matrix, or even worse AI the movie itself. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These remind me more of the Sentinels from the Halo universe, especially the way they were and acted in Halo: Ghosts of Onyx.

don't miss the most important part of the story... 'British scientists'. We Brits are rubish at science, rmember the Beagle 2? rubbish!

Although we did invent Stephen Hawkin, but even he gets an American to speak for him.

duds, what you are missing out is that the AI in these bots is just as intelligent as, lets say insects, maybe even dumber, the Ai in tease things just lets them react to there enviorment by adapting themselves to maneuver over obsticals or improve there design, they won't be able to take over the world.

The MIT has the smartest AI robot there is, and that needs 50 years till it's as smart as a 6 month old baby, so before robots take over the world, we'll be ruled by babys. and till that happens I'm dead anyway, so I don't care if they take over in like 100 years.

While everybody else has been thinking doom and gloom AI, Matrix,Terminator scenarios I'll continue to think happy, happy thoughts remembering how Kurt Russel ended "Escape From L.A."
There will always be those who step up to the plate to pull humanitys collective ass out of the fire when things go technologically, horribly wrong. I aim to live long enough to be one of those people. So bring on the advancements, let's see what the scientists can pull off. Hopefully we can have something benefit mankind for awhile before somone bastardizes the technology and commits mass genocide with it.

I saw this on the internet some time ago and thought it pretty neat. I wonder what they would do with this technology :-?

Hmmm... first off you've got miniture robots living inside of you, fixing your ails as they occcur, and that in and of itself is good. Then you have to stop and realize. How do they upgrade their programs without commanding them to all exit your body first? So I am guessing they will be wifi and you just come to the technician's office and they send a signal to your body to reprogram the bots for special needs based on specific illnesses or injuries.
Well now we have a new breed of hackers suddenly who can detect people with the nanos in them and once they find them they send their own signals telling the bots to rearrange your internals and kill every person who dared to allow this tech inside of them.

that's not good. Still unsure?
