Harnessing artificial intelligence is the future for mankind, but MIT scientists have created a reddit-fed psychopathic robot named Norman that’s purpose is... terrifying. Kim Horcher and Matt Atchity talk about how Norman was given tests to further prove his disturbed AI mind. Let us know what you think of Norman in the comments below!
“We’ve all seen evil machines in The Terminator or The Matrix, but how does a machine become evil? Is it like Project Satan from Futurama, where scientists combined parts from various evil cars to create the ultimate evil car? Or are machines simply destined to eventually turn evil when their processing power or whatever becomes sufficiently advanced? As it turns out, one guaranteed way to make a machine turn bad is by putting it in the hands of some scientists who are actively trying to create an AI “psychopath,” which is exactly what a group from MIT has achieved with an algorithm it’s named “Norman”—like the guy from ‘Psycho’.”
