Microsoft's co-founder and former CEO is the latest luminary from the world of technology and science to warn against the threat of smart machines. ===== My comments: I am worried about _any_ device using anything from M$. So if Gates (who has unorthodoxal opinion about complexity of factoring PRIMES) is _really_ worried about this, he MUST freeze all AI projects at M$. This reminds me of the quote: --- ``It would be fun some day, Turing, to listen to a discussion, say on the Fourth Programme, between two machines on why human beings think that they think! '' --Sir Geoffrey Jefferson (in: `Can Automatic Calculating Machines Be Said to Think?', by M.H.A. Newman et al., a BBC broadcast recorded 10 Jan. 1952, Turing Archives, reprinted in ch. 7 of `The Turing Test', S. Shieber, ed., MIT Press, 2004.) --- http://www.math.rutgers.edu/~zeilberg/quotes.html
