According to the Independent, the messages are Professor Stephen Hawking made in an interview with the famous presenter Larry King of CNN.
Accordingly when talking about how to deal with the human environment in the last decade, Professor Hawking said: "Surely we have not less greedy and stupid than a bit."
He also confirmed that environmental pollution and human stupidity is still the biggest threat to humanity.
He told host Larry King: "Six years ago I was warned about pollution and overpopulation problem, since then until now these problems continue to worsen.
The world population has increased by a half billion people since the previous interview and would not seem to stop time.
Itself with this momentum, 2100 will be 11 billion people. Air pollution has increased by 8% in the past five years. Over 80% of people living in urban areas are faced with levels of dangerous air pollution. "
Theoretical physicists continued to outline his concerns about the future of artificial intelligence technology, especially the priority they are for industrial use weapons.
He said: "The government seems to be too preoccupied with the race weapons using artificial intelligence, design aircraft and weapons technologies.
The budget expenditures for the project directly benefits for humans, such as the ability to upgrade medical screening, seems overlooked ".
