We think of ourselves as evolved creatures. It's just that sometimes we forget how slow that evolution is. Along comes Stephen Hawking to remind us that artificial intelligence might just evolve a little quicker than we're prone to. The result could be the end of our evolution and, indeed, the end of us.

Scenario: Human design a robot that is more intelligent than us. It realizes that it can evolve faster than us, and so no longer has any need for us, leading to the death of the human race. Social and ethical: The main point in this article is that we will develop our own ends. That we will develop a machine that will have the capability to perhaps kill us. Stake Holders: Steven Hawking is a stake holder in this article as he is the one who suggested that we should be thoughtful about our development of intelligent machines. Humanity: Robots could become more powerful than we could ever be really fast, and so end us. AI companies will have to worry about and have ways to prevent this. IT System: Currently we do not have the technology to enable this level of complexity in both Hardware and Software, however Moore's Law states that we are getting closer to this with every year.

I chose this article because it's has close connection with this course. The invention of AVG invisibility glass relates to both social issues that the efficiency of CCTV in public places might be reduced and it will become harder to stop discrimination, also ethical issue that the privacy of a person might be protected. The use of technology that relates to infrared LED light is also worth further learning and investigating.
