ET will ‘Conquer and Colonise’ Humanity, Warns Stephen Hawking
Professor Stephen Hawking has previously said artificial intelligence could control humans in 100 years.
Now, in his latest dire warning, the physicist claims that if AI doesn’t conquer humanity, an advanced alien civilisation may do so instead.
‘If aliens visit us, the outcome could be much like when Columbus landed in America, which didn’t turn out well for the Native Americans,’ Professor Hawking said in a recent interview.‘Such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads, looking to conquer and colonise whatever planets they can reach,’ Hawking told El Pais. http://http://tinyurl.com/q5fthsh
Hawking is currently heading up a major search for intelligent alien life using two of the world’s most powerful telescopes.
