Terminator

So, I mean, this really conjures up, doesn't it? It conjures up.

that great movie from the 1980s, you know, Terminator, Arnold Schwarzenegger playing the baddie in the first one, Terminator 1, where effectively, you know, we're talking about a future where the machines have turned against the humans.

Now, we're not talking about it.

The question is, you know, what about robots fighting robots? Well, it's got to be, isn't it, that they will have to be able to machine learn themselves.

Is the tank still a viable capability? Have we all gone to drones? We've now got to think about automation with AI and that's going to be fundamentally different.

So I just want to go back a little bit again on something you mentioned when we talk about hacking and deception.

And then I want to talk about machines taking over without going down the Terminator rabbit hole.

Just on the ability of AI to hack into another system, is it conceivable that someone could develop such a powerful form of AI that it can hack into an enemy's AI And when that enemy launches its drones or when it declares war or whatever it's going to do, instead of attacking, say the Americans managed to do this and they hacked into the Russian systems and they had this sort of dormant virus which was incredibly powerful and the Russians decided, yes, we're going to attack Poland and they launched all their drones.
