KILLER robots with a conscience may become so advanced they could enslave the human race before killing our species, a leading expert has warned.

Some scientists are lauding the rapid development of artificial intelligence but others fear their progress will prove fatal.

Expert opinion is split on the possibility of AI developing consciousness, which some warn could be used by machines to rebel against humans and kill us.

Now we can exclusively reveal how they might do it, and it would truly turn evolution on its head.

Subhash Kak – a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Oklahoma University – says that if robots developed a consciousness similar to ours, they would likely use human beings as slaves.
