The BBC reports:
It’s striking that while killer robots don’t actually exist – yet – we are working on them, and we’ve reached a point where it’s plausible enough to actually warrant a hearing.
It’s also worth mentioning that while the War Departments of the US and UK say they have no intention of granting warbots full autonomy, it’s a fair bet that not every country is going to follow that guideline.
RELATED: Russia is building securitybots to defend its missile bases.
So there you go.
Yr move creep,
This is dF
The BBC reports:
Those in favour of killer robots believe the current laws of war may be sufficient to address any problems that might emerge if they are ever deployed, arguing that a moratorium, not an outright ban, should be called if this is not the case.
However, those who oppose their use believe they are a threat to humanity and any autonomous "kill functions" should be banned.
"Autonomous weapons systems cannot be guaranteed to predictably comply with international law," Prof Sharkey told the BBC. "Nations aren't talking to each other about this, which poses a big risk to humanity."
