Spielberg is terrified of 'intelligent computers'

Steven Spielberg says he is terrified of computers developing minds of their
own.

Spielberg told German magazine Cinema his latest film, Artificial
Intelligence, is a warning against irresponsible development of science.

AI is a sci-fi fantasy about an abandoned robot boy looking for his adoptive
human mother.

Spielberg says: "I don't want to live the day when my laptop jumps off the
table and walks through the house.

"I want to say: Don't let it happen. It would be awful if one day a
mechanical child or an artificial gigolo replaced a person of flesh and
blood."
