The need for human operators to identify targets serves as a hard logistical limit to how many drone strikes can be delivered. Turning them into a machine removes that limit.
Suppose you decrease error rate by 10% (optimistic), but increase volume by 20% (probably underestimated). You'll get an 8% increase in innocent deaths.
- meri_dian 9y agoWhere are you coming up with those percentages? Why are you assuming that human operators will be removed from the decision making process?
- walshemj 9y agoThe hard logistical limit is the cost and the number of airframes.
- titzer 9y agoNo, it actually is the amount of eyeballs to analyze drone footage. They literally have so much footage feeding in that they can no longer review it with humans. This tech is designed to make the surveillance dragnet feeding into military decisions more automated and efficient.
