But the responsibility of “pulling the trigger” makes these engineers sheltered from any guilt. However, engineering the cases for triggering the robots to kill and the resulting bugs can be directly attributed to the team that designs it. Whether they care or not, or ever have a hard time falling asleep at night is a different story..

There are plenty of engineers who build systems where bugs can lead directly to death. In the case of killer robots, the engineers are not (outside of a test gone wrong) going to be realeasing the robots themselves. They are going to be giving them to the military, where officers create and load particular configurations then release the robots with that. These are the same people who current create orders release frontline soldiers to execute said orders.
