Fans and casual viewers are stumbling upon ‘Unknown: Killer Robots’, the chilling latest installment of Netflix’s new documentary series ‘Unknown’. They are quickly realizing that the information they’ve learned cannot be unlearned. As one viewer tweeted, “I can only conclude that we have created a psychopathic demi-god and unleashed it on the world.” This streamer’s in-depth exploration of AI’s lethal potential and the military arms race for more autonomous weapons is leaving viewers disturbed. Even those who appear in ‘Killer Robots’ themselves, including scientific experts, are voicing their concerns over the alarming revelations presented in the documentary.
Various groups, such as refugee organizations serving war-torn countries, as well as the scientific experts featured in Netflix’s ‘Killer Robots’, have expressed their worry about the dark revelations in the documentary. One such fan described the Netflix expose as ‘fascinating, thought-provoking, and the stuff of nightmares’. The nonprofit organization, Afghans For A Better Tomorrow, specializing in helping refugees of the Taliban and the war in Afghanistan, commended the film as ‘a groundbreaking documentary exploring the rise of AI-powered robots on the battlefield’. However, the organization couldn’t ignore the documentary’s chilling implications. They raised a valid question on Twitter, stating, “AI is certainly on course to change our lives, but what about when it’s used in war, in places like Afghanistan or Somalia?”
Even British pharmacologist Sean Ekins, an expert in AI-powered computational toxicology featured in ‘Killer Robots’, has been deeply affected by his experience. Ekins, who typically uses biochemistry modeling AI to develop life-saving drugs, was shocked by the results of a test he conducted on the dangers of AI. To his horror, the computer effortlessly generated thousands of molecules for chemical weapons within a short period of time. These molecules were said to be even deadlier than known nerve agents like VX gas and Novichok.
In essence, ‘Unknown: Killer Robots’ exposes a darker side of AI that many never anticipated. Directed by Emmy-award-winning documentarian Jesse Sweet, known for his work on ‘Parts Unknown with Anthony Bourdain’, the documentary has received praise from organizations like Afghans For A Better Tomorrow. However, fans of Netflix’s Unknown series find themselves confronted with the terrifying realities portrayed in ‘Killer Robots’. One viewer described the documentary as a horrifying combination of ‘Black Mirror’ and ‘Terminator’, while another expressed that ‘Terminator is starting to feel real’ after watching the trailer. In the words of one Twitter user, “Little Baby Skynet is growing up fast!”
