Only a handful of countries are capable of developing killer robots to maturity and they will end up monopolizing the arms trade market. The tech will proliferate for this reason alone.
If AI is integral to killer drones, then expect a lot more skirmishes going forward to gather data. And realistically there's only a handful of countries / powerblocks who has the impunity to conduct such "research". And when you narrow perquisites down account for synergy with domestic AI industry, that elite club dwindles even smaller. US, PRC, EU if she gets her shit together.
But IMO killer robots along with developments like prompt global strike will trigger dreadnaught tier shift in resetting global power dynamic. Arms race dilemma 101, countries that can, simply can't afford not to pursue them.

- dirtyid 5y agoI'm sure most countries can get a UAV to drop some munitions on a person. But that's easy mode. Caveat is: > to maturity i.e. hightech platforms designed to confront other hightech platforms. Only a handful of country has both the industrial base in terms of AI and MIC to develop drones for capabilities like Anti-air, anti-sub warfare. Most of the world do not have 5th gen planes or modern subs to even train against. Or the host of communication infra, especially space that's needed to get platforms working in field. Only a handful of countries can even contemplate doing that.
