Artificial intelligence could evolve to hack ITSELF, John McAfee warns

Artificial intelligence systems that can hack themselves to improve their capabilities are not only possible at this point, but would be ‘trivial’ to create, a security expert has warned. According to John McAfee, AI is a ‘self-conscious entity’ that
