Killer robots? Cambridge brains to assess AI risk  Sure, fears
of human-zapping robots might be a "flakey concern," but that
doesn't mean technology is short on existential risks. The
University of Cambridge is out to find the truth.  Aww, it's a
cute little robot. And it's saying, "I love you" in Japanese
sign language. But how long will humans and robots peaceably co-
exist?  (Credit: Honda)  Remember the cuddly Furby? Imagine it's
grown a killer case (literally) of artificial intelligence and
decides your house and your family are far better than its own,
and decides to murder you for it.  OK, so researchers think that
such a scenario is a "flakey concern" and wildly far-fetched.
Still, the U.K.'s University of Cambridge is setting up a new
center to analyze the dangers posed by artificial intelligence
and increasingly non-human interactive machines.  Founded by
distinguished philosophy professor Huw Price, cosmology and
astrophysics professor Martin Reess and Skype co-founder Jaan
Tallinn, the project will
