If you’re concerned that one day artificial intelligence will rise up and crush humanity, à la The Matrix, then this might ease your worries: a new £10million laboratory has been set up to prevent that.
The University of Cambridge’s state-of-the-art new lab will explore the challenges humanity will face from the development of A.I.
At the latest estimate, human-level artificial intelligence will be developed by 2099, and that, in the words of Stephen Hawking, will either be the best or worst thing to happen to humanity.

The Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence hopes to bring together computer scientists, philosophers and social scientists to look at the technical, practical and philosophical questions that arise from the development of robots.
‘Machine intelligence will be one of the defining themes of our century, and the challenges of ensuring that we make good use of its opportunities are ones we all face together,’ said Huw Price, director of the centre.
‘At present, however, we have barely begun to consider its ramifications, good or bad.’
