Real-life Sci-fi?

Remember watching science-fiction movies and thinking that the super-smart robots could probably become a reality some time in the far-off future?  Well according to a recent New York Times article, the “far-off future” may be sooner than we thought.

A group of computer scientists is currently debating whether research should be controlled to avoid the fast-approaching possibility of robots becoming as intelligent as humans.  They are worried that further technological advances could destroy jobs, cause serious social disturbances, and even have dangerous consequences.  One of the researchers’ big concerns stems from the fact that robots that can kill autonomously either already exist or soon will.  If criminals get control over artificial intelligence systems, there is no way of knowing how far they’ll be able to go.

But the same research that has led to these potentially dangerous robots has also led to many positive developments, including significant progress in the medical field.  So what happens when restrictions on research prevent both the bad and the good results?
