ROBOTS that can think for themselves are a genuine possibility, according to the founder of Google.

Tech mogul Sergey Brin has revealed his "fears" over artificial intelligence, and said robots could steal our jobs or even "manipulate" us.

In his annual letter Google Founder's Letter, Sergey made his concerns about future sci-fi tech public.

"The new spring in artificial intelligence is the most significant development in computing in my lifetime," the billionaire boss explained.

"We're in an era of great inspiration and possibility.

"But with this opportunity comes the need for tremendous thoughtfulness and responsibility as technology is deeply and irrevocably interwoven into our societies."

He said the sudden improvements to artificial intelligence – including the creation of robots that can think – brings "new questions and responsibilities".

"How will they affect employment across different sectors?

"How can we understand what they are doing under the hood? What about measures of fairness? How might they manipulate people? Are they safe?

"Most notably, safety spans a wide range of concerns from the fears of sci-fi style sentience to the more near-term questions such as validating the performance of self-driving cars."

But despite Brin's fears, Google has been paving the way in artificial intelligence for years.

Earlier this year, it emerged that Google was working with the Pentagon on machine learning tech for military drones.

And Google has been a long-time player in building AI for everyday gadget fans too.

Phones that run using Google's Android software come with the Google Assistant built in.

This Siri- or Alexa-style voice-controlled digital assistant can answer questions and talk to you thanks to artificial intelligence.

The Google Assistant is the same tech that powers the Amazon Echo-style Google Home smart speakers, too.

So Brin may be talking up responsibility, but Google is by far one of the world's biggest players in AI.
