The article recounts Stephen Hawking's warnings about the threats associated with the development of artificial intelligence. The scientist feared that superintelligent AI, capable of independent self-improvement, could surpass humans in speed of development. According to Hawking, the main danger is not in the malevolence of machines, but in the misalignment of their goals with the interests of humanity. He called for ensuring in advance that AI tasks correspond to human safety. Hawking also warned about the threat of autonomous weapons systems and called for their strict regulation. In his book "Brief Answers to the Big Questions," he left a call for a responsible approach to technology development.
