Has artificial intelligence ever been used to do destructive things?

Yes, artificial intelligence has been used to do destructive things. For example, computer viruses were some of the earliest forms of artificial intelligence to be developed, with the intent of damaging computers and networks. Autonomous robotics systems have been developed for military applications, giving computers the ability to target and fire on specified targets without human involvement. Artificial intelligence has also been used to develop advanced automated trading systems which some experts claim have been responsible for dramatic increases in volatility in certain stock market sectors. Lastly, the development of advanced natural language processing systems has allowed malicious actors to use AI to generate convincing but fraudulent online messages and emails.
