A heated debate is currently underway within the scientific community about AI, with some claiming that it can be used to benefit humanity, while others claim it could lead to the end of modern civilisation.
South African businessman and SpaceX leader Elon Musk has been one of the more outspoken critics of AI, describing it as the “biggest risk we face as a civilisation.”
Others, however, have said that it will be a positive, with Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg saying that “If you’re arguing against AI, then you’re arguing against safer cars that aren’t going to have accidents. And you’re arguing against being able to better diagnose people when they’re sick. I just don’t see how, in good conscience, some people can do that.”
However, as President Putin wades into the debate, experts will surely be worried following his ominous warning.
At a meeting of students in Yaroslavl, Russia, the controversial leader of the largest country in the world said that “the one who becomes the leader in this AI sphere will be the ruler of the world.”

The 64-year old added that in the future wars are likely to be thought by artificially intelligent machines.
President Putin said: “When one party’s drones are destroyed by drones of another, it will have no other choice but to surrender,” according to Futurism.
However, the leader of Russia went on to imply that if the eastern European nation were to be the ones to make the AI breakthrough, they would share their knowledge with the rest of the world – and expect others to do so too.
President Putin told the room full of students that “it would be strongly undesirable if someone wins a monopolist position” in AI.
