Voice-controlled British navy computers
lundi 18 septembre 2017 à 02:00The British navy is adopting voice control for computers.
I hope they are not going to privatize this and let a foreign company track what the crew ask the computer on ships. But that is not the only risk here.
Some decades ago I saw a movie in which there was a naval standoff between a US ship and a Soviet ship. The US captain told someone else on the bridge (a journalist?), "If they fire one, we'll fire one". A bridge crewman heard the last two words, took them for an order ("Fire one!"), and fired a missile, thus starting a war.
Soon a computer could really do this.
