>Robots could murder us out of KINDNESS unless they are taught the value of human life, engineer claims

* The warning was made by Amsterdam-based engineer, Nell Watson
* Speaking at a conference in Sweden, she said robots could decide that the greatest compassion to humans as a race is to get rid of everyone
* Ms Watson said computer chips could soon have the same level of brain power as a bumblebee – allowing them to analyse social situations
* 'Machines are going to be aware of the environments around them and, to a small extent, they're going to be aware of themselves,' she said
* Her comments follow tweets by Tesla-founder, Elon Musk, earlier this month who said AI could be more dangerous than nuclear weapons
