> A human still has to pull the (digital) trigger to use lethal force. I guess you haven’t read up on the Milgram experiment. Humans are more likely, not less, to order deadly force when there is an intermediary between you and the victim. This robot will be another layer for the police to wash away their ethics and “follow orders”. We’ve already seen this with drone operators during the Iraq invation (which still suffer from PTSD despite never going to the frontlines), that they are no less likely—and even more if anything—to use deadly force on the innocent if ordered to do so.
