Has artificial intelligence ever been used to do destructive things?
<|assistant|>
Yes. Artificial intelligence has been used to automate certain destructive tasks and has even been used to develop autonomous weapons systems that can search and select targets without human intervention. In 2015, a group of robotics researchers, artificial intelligence experts, and computer security professionals wrote an open letter expressing their concern over the potential use of AI for malicious tasks. The letter highlights the potential risks of creating autonomous weapons systems and the use of AI for surveillance, data-mining, and predictive policing techniques.
