Explorando o Desconhecido: Robôs Assassinos

This is probably the worst of the various ham handed Netflix documentaries I have seen. It is simple minded and well behind the curve on potential issues with AI. In fact it conflates AGI (artificial general intelligence), with AI (artificial intelligence). And it portrays usage in warfighting the main threat. When existential threats are much more likely to come from general population, and in areas seemingly benign compared to warfighting.

Frankly a listen to any couple of lex fridman podcast with the top AI thinkers will teach the average person a lot more, and a lot more accurately about the issue.

Case in point: this documentary frets about AI making decisions about who to attack on the battlespace, which it calls a life or death decision. With zero AI 18 and 19-year olds were already already making such decisions for thousands of years, and from up to half a world away using non AI attack drones for the past 20 and 30 years. AI and algorithms have been demonstrated to make better decisions on that. In fact even in policing AI algorithms have been shown to be profoundly less biased than even expert humans And the existential threat to humans from AI is actually in the most banal of applications, not warfare. Tell an enabled and non-aligned (AI "alignment" is elusive goal of getting AI aligned with human interests) AI to produce as many paper clips as possible and an AI system may turn all atoms on earth into paper clips.

I would skip this nonsense dumbed down junk documentary.

I love the part where Emilia says she's really optimistic about the future because of the Biological Weapon Convention. Nice video of President Richard Nixon and Secretary of State Rogers walking into a meeting. How the USA and the communist (USSR) signed a treaty to do away with biological weapons and research. Ha!!! Read the book SPIES that just came out by Calder Walton. Based on the files smuggled out of the USSR the communist NEVER stopped working on biological weapons. We were suckers to believe that they would. Do not think for one second that the bad guys will abide by any LAWS.

Another thing. Why do I have to use so many different words to be able to post a comment.

Next race is here stumbling struggling to walk on surfaces flying discreetly sensing the heat temperatures and using lethality to complete an assignment. Excellent visuals in drawing a clear picture of what's at stake in a world where more and more competitors joins the neverending race of achieving absolute supremacy. Interviews gave an opportunity to actually focus the issue on it's real roots. Documentaries such as this is needed more and more and plays a key role in reminding every human how fragile the balance of every element is. Great use of audio and visuals. A short educating documentary.

I was was watching the doc fine until I saw Andrew Yang, who was described as a politician (he never held any elected office; he ran a hopeless presidential campaing once to make his face known, and ran for NY mayor. In our age where everyone gets a trophy for joining a race, Adrew is a perfect fit :) ) and a tech entrepreneur (he has never been one; he once ran a non-profit which achived nothing, and anither time sold Kaplan books). There are zillions of people who worked in AI robotics and did great things, but this doc decided to air Andrew Yang, and it lost credibility for me at that moment.

It's a repetitive documentary declared as film in Netflix .It was too boring with its narratives .Don't have to watch this childish documentary if really don't want to waste your valuable time .Dragging the scenes with repetitive narratives which is nothing new even for the kids .May be AI itself is surprised why he /she is so dull after watching this annoying fascinated dull story .it's good to avoid to watch this if you are really serious about either a tech film or a informative documentary .News channels may be more informative and thrilling now days, especially when they are covering military advancements and tech innovations by various countries .
