In the XXI century, mankind may face serious threats due to the development of science and technology, said the professor, University of Cambridge physicist Stephen Hawking. According to him, man-made disaster could happen in the next few thousand or ten thousand years. “At present, the probability of disaster is quite low, even though the probability of this is growing. It is safe to say that this will happen in the next thousand or ten thousand years “- leads the” Bi-Bi-Si “to the scientist. He also noted that the disaster will not lead to the destruction of humanity, because by this time will be mastered new space. “We are not in a position to build a self-contained colonies in space next 100 years, so at this time we should be very careful,” – added Mr. Hawking.

Previously, Stephen Hawking, and a thousand other Scientists opposed the creation of fighting robots. They signed a petition against the development of artificial intelligence in the military sphere. Scientists warn that the machine, which will select and destroy targets without human intervention, can be dangerous. The letter notes that the creation of killer robots do not need such a significant investment, both to develop nuclear weapons, and it is possible that they subsequently appear on the black market.
