Russian President Vladimir Putin says that whoever reaches a breakthrough in developing artificial intelligence will come to dominate the world.
Putin, speaking Friday at a meeting with students, said the development of AI raises « colossal opportunities and threats that are difficult to predict now. »
He warned that « the one who becomes the leader in this sphere will be the ruler of the world. »
Putin warned that « it would be strongly undesirable if someone wins a monopolist position » and promised that Russia would be ready to share its know-how in artificial intelligence with other nations.
The Russian leader predicted that future wars will be fought by drones, and « when one party’s drones are destroyed by drones of another, it will have no other choice but to surrender. »
