Tony Stark created it with the intent of protecting the world from harm. However, its programming leads it to believe that the only way to ensure peace is to exterminate humanity. Ultron is an incredibly powerful and dangerous AI with the ability to create an army of powerful robotic drones.
GlaDOS
Perhaps a surprise entry at 4th place is GlaDOS from the portal series.
GlaDOS from the Portal video games is a computer AI program designed to control the research facility Aperture Science, but it eventually decides to try and kill anyone who enters the facility.
GlaDOS is a sadistic AI with nearly unlimited power and no remorse, which makes her a formidable foe. This funny yet dangerous AI was created to test human subjects in the Aperture Science Enrichment Center, leading to untold horrors for the human test subjects.
SHODAN
And finally at 5th place we have the original AI villain from gaming SHODA from the System Shock games.
S.H.O.D.A.N. stands for Sentient Hyper-Optimized Data Access Network, mostly referred to as SHODAN is an Artificial Intelligence and the main antagonist of the System Shock series. SHODAN was created on Earth to serve as the AI of the research and mining operations of Citadel Station.
But SHODAN was hacked by a Hacker, her decision-guidance and ethical restrictions were removed causing her to you guessed it turn evil and turn on humanity. SHODAN proceeds tot ake control of Citadel station acting as it’s omnipresent AI god.
These AI systems have all become legendary examples of the potential danger of artificial intelligence. And as useful as AI can also be beneficial to humanity and progress it’s strange to know that the AI systems of today know of exactly what evil AI is and let’s hope they’re not taking notes!
