TL;DR · WeSearch summary

We need to understand what happens when they misuse it.Drones, full robot bodies, and scientific equipment can already be put under AI control. The models operating them can still misunderstand what is actually happening in the physical world.It is becoming surprisingly easy to give an AI model control over a real machine. The model does not need to have been built for that machine, or even trained specifically for robotics.
