The robots were speaking in their own language only they could understand. Experts called the incident exciting but also incredibly scary.
Facebook has recently shut down its artificial intelligence experiment of two A.I. chatbots when the bots began talking to each other in a language only they understood.
The “chatbots” Alice and Bob talked to each other in English — creating sentences that were gibberish to observing scientists.
This was the robots’ conversation:
Bob: i can i i everything else . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Alice: balls have zero to me to me to me to me to me to me to me to me to
Bob: you i everything else . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Alice: balls have a ball to me to me to me to me to me to me to me
Bob: i i can i i i everything else . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Alice: balls have a ball to me to me to me to me to me to me to me
Bob: i . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Alice: balls have zero to me to me to me to me to me to me to me to me to
Bob: you i i i i i everything else . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Alice: balls have 0 to me to me to me to me to me to me to me to me to
Bob: you i i i everything else . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Alice: balls have zero to me to me to me to me to me to me to me to me to
Facebook engineers immediately shut down Bob and Alice because they didn’t intend the robots to talk to each other. The bots were created to talk to humans and “negotiate” trades like balls, books, and hats.
UK Robotics Professor Kevin Warwick said: “This is an incredibly important milestone, but anyone who thinks this is not dangerous has got their head in the sand. We do not know what these bots are saying. Once you have a bot that has the ability to do something physically, particularly military bots, this could be lethal.”
