PRAGUE, July 19 (Reuters) – The head of Britain’s MI6 foreign spy service said some adversaries would try to develop artificial intelligence in a way which was reckless and dangerous, and that it would be his agency’s job to deal with that.
“There’s absolutely no doubt that some of our adversaries will be prepared to develop AI in ways which are reckless and dangerous,” Richard Moore, chief of the Secret Intelligence Service, said in an interview with Politico on Wednesday.
“It will be a significant part of our role going forward into the future, to try and … detect, uncover, and then disrupt people who would like to develop AI in directions which are dangerous.”
