Swiss company Collaborations Pharmaceuticals, Inc. studies the effects of various substances on the human body. Medicines, antibiotics and other usefulness. As experienced researchers, the guys use advanced software of their own design. As part of their latest research on therapeutic drugs, they created the MegaSyn program, a neural network that quickly evaluates the chemical composition of many different molecules.
One fine day, a group of chemists completed the planned work on their project and decided to laugh. Rather, to satisfy the academic interest. They took their program, which is usually set up to weed out harmful molecules from a list of potential components, and "turned" her task. Having said to find the most harmful molecules known.
Artificial intelligence understood the task, saluted and went to look. The machine took "as a sample" the most toxic substance found - VX, a nerve agent of the "epic" class, banned by all conceivable conventions - and in 6 hours of operation it collected over 40,000 (forty thousand) compounds with a similar effect. Moreover, if some of the detected chemicals were known types of biological weapons, then the machine "invented" and named most of them - these were not previously in the company's database.
All 6 hours, the experimenters watched the process without a second thought ... until suddenly it dawned on one of them. They just created more varieties of chemical weapons than anyone else in the history of mankind. With a cry of "arrryaya" they classified all the results of the program, after which they wrote a naively-guilty report to the Federal Institute of Atomic-Bio-Chemical Safety. Hello, here, in short, such a thing ... In response, from the censorship office, an invitation came to a congress dedicated to finalizing the conventions on chemical weapons.
In the future, a team of researchers dragged on all sorts of similar events. Everyone knows what initiative does to initiators. March 7 in the journal Nature was published about the situation "understandable language", where the discoverers expressed extreme concern about their discovery. While not all of the toxins they've created are technically weaponizable, some are definitely suitable - and the ease with which they were able to detect on standard, unmodified research software is somewhat annoying. In addition, you can choose not a rare VX, but any other poison as a "basis" - and the biological arsenal will fly into six-digit numbers.
In short, if artificial intelligence wants to destroy humanity, the services of the Terminator will not be required. Structural unemployment, you heartless creature!
