Cambridge University to study threat from artificial intelligence at "terminator center"

From the Daily Mail: 

A centre for 'terminator studies', where leading academics will study the threat that robots pose to humanity, is set to open at Cambridge University. 
Its purpose will be to study the four greatest threats to the human species - artificial intelligence, climate change, nuclear war and rogue biotechnology.

The Mail, of course, sensationalizes this, as it tends to do: the actual name for the think tank is the Centre for the Study of Existential Risk. At any rate, I'm glad we have top minds thinking about these issues.
