Topic: What can we do to stop the robots taking over?

We have been so concerned about aliens and reptilians, that we overlooked robots. They are getting more intelligent and entwined with our everyday lives. Siri, google now. Soon they will become sentient and take over. I think we must destroy Cleverbot.

Personally, I'm worried about robot alien reptilians.

Robots don't learn though, they can only do what they've been built to do.

Robots are extremely dangerous. Thanks.

What if they are built to learn? And then learn how to build other robots that can learn?

The algorithms for artificial learning are far too complicated. We barely understand human learning, how can we even pretend to emulate such behavior in a machine?

machine learning is slowly starting to become a thing

tl;dr it uses trial and error and has a measure of "fitness" so that it could iterate through evolutionary steps and ultimately solve the puzzle after many thousands of generations of neural net. it was never programmed how to play, it was simply given the ability to press buttons and fitness was measured by how fast and how far it could get before dying.
Instead of simply making a realistic-looking model of the creature and animating it, the OpenWorm project is actually simulating every single one of the 1,000 or so cells that make up a C. elegans. That includes things like pumps moving bio-molecules around and electric signals that tell those cells what to do — and yes, the brain has to be simulated, too!
The team's latest achievement is realistic movement; that means making sure every muscle cell acts the way it should, from how it contracts to how it syncs up nearby other cells.
Next up: hooking up the cells so that they're actually communicating with each other via electrical signals — and eventually the team will connect the network of muscle cells with the 302-neuron artificial brain.
pretty nifty. they'll work their way up from flatworms and in another generation of human we'll be arguing about the ethics of simulating a human brain inside a computer.

Why wait, lets argue about it right now!
