Additional read: "Autonomous Military Robotics: Risk, Ethics, and Design" By Ethics + Emerging Sciences Group at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, sponsored by the Department of the Navy In this report, we will present: the presumptive case for the use of autonomous military robotics; the need to address risk and ethics in the field; the current and predicted state of military robotics; programming approaches as well as relevant ethical theories and considerations (including the Laws of War, Rules of Engagement); a framework for technology risk assessment; ethical and social issues, both near- and far-term; and recommendations for future work. http://ethics.calpoly.edu/ONR_report.pdf http://ethics.calpoly.edu/ONR_report.pdf and "Malak" by Peter Watts Inside the mind of an autonomous drone with a conscience, but as usual with Watts it all goes wrong. https://rifters.com/real/shorts/PeterWatts_Malak.pdf https://rifters.com/real/shorts/PeterWatts_Malak.pdf
