Information security experts warned that the rapid development of drones and artificial intelligence could pose a serious threat to state security.
A team of 26 information security experts expressed concern about "the malicious use of artificial intelligence by evil states, criminals or terrorist organizations."
The team predicted rapid growth of cybercrime and bad use of drones over the next decade, as well as an unprecedented rise in the impact of electronic groups on everything from elections to media agendas and media.
The team warned that computers could be used to simulate human voices, steal personal data, control self-driving cars and cause accidents, while drones could be used to identify faces and target people with their own eyes.
"Artificial intelligence changes the concept of danger in individuals, organizations and nations," said Miles Brandeig of Oxford University. "The full range of its impact on security is very broad."
A report by the experts recommended that governments pay more attention to how these threats are addressed.
"Artificial intelligence changes the rules of the game, and the report predicts the world over the next five to 10 years," said one of the authors of the report, Sen Hagertig of the University of Cambridge.
"We live in a world that can become dangerous because of the bad use of artificial intelligence and we have to take care of the problem because the danger is real."
