For those confused without more context:
This is a fictional, theoretical depiction of what a drone based attack could look like, followed by a short statement by a professor.
My thoughts:
+ This did a poor job differentiating between AI and just drone warfare. You don't need an AI to launch a bunch of drones with payloads. My local middleschool can fly a bunch of drones, and they do it monthly in a nearby parking lot.
+ Neither the video nor the website dictates what, exactly the ban is of. "Lethal Autonomous Weapons", sure, but are we banning like drone motors or FPV cameras or what? How do we not ban "Drone carrying a camera" but do ban "drone carrying homemade explosive" in a way that's meaningful beyond making it extra-illegal to do a terrorism?
+ The website mostly seems concerned about human-in-the-killchain systems versus automated systems. That's a fair distinction to be concerned about, but doesn't appear to be related to the theoretical attack they show.
