Horvitz said a quarter of its employees focus with artificial intelligence.

In a question and answer session on the Reddit website, Gates wrote: "I am concerned with super intelligence. First, the machine will do a lot of work for us and we become intelligent. Therefore, machine intelligence will be a positive thing if we manage it properly.

"I agree with Elon Musk and a few others that, after decades of intelligence topics will still be a concern. But I do not understand why most other people do not care about this.

Prof Hawking said he felt that the machine with artificial intelligence could be "the end of mankind".

Horvitz said: "There is a long-term concern that we would lose control of some kind of intelligence. Basically I think it will not happen." (BBC)
