If AI is placed in charge of certain tech. could AI use our current tech as a weapon against humans?
How would that even work?
Electromagnetic pulses could be used to disrupt the brain´s functioning, although this technology was still in the theoretical stages at the time.
Under normal conditions, all brain structures function with specific rhythmic activity depending on incoming sensory information. Sometimes, the brain synchronizes neuronal activity in order to focus on a specific task, but the degree of neuronal synchronization is highly controlled
However, under certain conditions (such as physical stress or heat stroke), more areas of the brain can fire in a highly synchronized manner, and may begin firing uncontrollably. The report describes a method for replicating this highly synchronized neuron firing across distances of several hundred meters.
High-voltage (100 kV/m) electromagnetic pulses lasting for one nanosecond could trigger neurons to fire, disrupting the body´s controlled firing activity. Short-term effects may include loss of consciousness, muscle spasms, muscle weakness, and seizures lasting for a couple minutes.
These high-voltage pulsed sources, which would require an estimated frequency of 15 Hz, exist today.
Another form of non-lethal torture described in the report is microwave heating. By raising the temperature of the body to 41°C (105.8°F), humans can experience sensations such as memory loss and disorientation, and exhibit reduced aggression. According to the report, humans can survive temperatures up to 42°C (107.6°F), at which time prolonged exposure can result in permanent brain damage or death.
The microwave heating technique was tested on a Rhesus monkey, where a 225 MHz beam caused an increase in the animal´s body temperature.
Back closer to the topic of AI here.
Will CYBERDYNE Inc. create a Terminator?
No shit that is a real company…LOL
Cybernics is a new academic field that fused/combined cross-disciplinary fields. The core disciplines of Cybernics are academic fields related to humans, robots, and information systems, such as neuroscience, AI, Robotics, system engineering, information technology, physiology, psychology, behavioral science, philosophy, ethics, law, business administration, and many more.
less expensive model however …
assassins.
