"The decision to take a human life should never be delegated to a machine."

Boston Dynamics, an offshoot of MIT, said it wants to build machines that "break boundaries and work in the real world."

More than 50 AI researchers from around the world have signed an open letter boycotting the prestigious university.

"Compromised robots can be used to physically damage something or even kill someone," say researchers exposing the flaws.

Micah Johnson was killed after a robot delivered and detonated a bomb.

More than 1,000 artificial intelligence experts signed an open letter calling for the ban of fully autonomous weapons.

"Our future is a race between the growing power of technology and the wisdom with which we use it," says Hawking.
