True, but it is rather difficult to convince an e.g. blue soldier that he is, in fact, red. Not so with robots, assuming you can reverse engineer their software

- streety 18y agoI agree that the potential consequences of a breach would be significantly greater with robots than with human soldiers. Most of the wars I'm aware about during the past few decades have been highly asymmetric technologically or have been between technologically limited forces. In the first case the likelihood is that only the more technologically advanced force would utilise robots and would be able to secure them beyond the capabilities of the technologically inferior opposing force to compromise. In the second case neither side is likely to have robots fighting. If this trend holds true for the future then 'warbots' are going to be increasingly used.
