Is it the remote control that makes robots scary, or the autonomy? My belief is the latter. I don't think there is much difference between this and shooting someone, so long as there is still a person controlling the robot and pressing the button.
- astrodust 10y agoThere's been a history of spectacular automated defense malfunctions that I hope people are not eager to repeat. Stories like this will only become more common: https://www.wired.com/2007/10/robot-cannon-ki/ https://www.wired.com/2007/10/robot-cannon-ki/ Software is hard. Software that controls lethal weapons is crazy hard.
- Teever 10y agoI understand your point and I agree with it somewhat but I still think that there is a big issue with remotely controlled killing machines. Who is controlling them? What if a killer takes over police bots? They don't have to be autonomous to be a threat to society.
