>> I really don’t get all the fretting about drones making kill-no-kill decisions. >> You’re telling me that you’d rather this was done by a stressed, emotional, tired front-line private? I want somebody that can be held accountable when it goes wrong. With automated systems we don't have that.

That's not an issue, you can always hold someone accountable, from those who own to those who program.

  Is the person who presses a button that releases an autonomous kill-no-kill drone into a country going to jail when that drone razes an entire town of civilians? I doubt it. “Mistakes happen” etc. The visceral reaction is not there that would motivate the legal system to send the group that started a cascade of autonomous decisions by a robot to kill a bunch of civilians.

    That depends on those two imaginary countries. Also, are you unaware of the many instances where people faced no accountability even when it wasn't a mistake, but deliberate?

      This would make the accountability situation much worse.
