In Yemen or rural Afghanistan or Pakistan the inhabitants already have to deal with killer flying robots that are currently people operated but facing a manpower shortage. They will probably eventually be 100% automated. Just like any military action, whether the robots/algorithms or people who carry out these actions are perceived as evil or not depends on which country one lives in and what one's political beliefs are and whether one knows and how one feels about the people killed by said actions. In the future I expect it will be exactly the same. The future is already here, it's just not evenly distributed.
- jsprogrammer 12y agoFlying robots with missiles/guns/high-power lasers/weapons should never be automated.
- gojomo 12y agoAnd this "should never" pronouncement will be enforced by you and what army?
- jsprogrammer 12y agoMaybe we should have global drone coverage armed with nuclear bombs? MAD's the only way to do, right?
- notatoad 12y agoAn autonomous drone that has been tasked to kill a human and a machine that decides on its own to kill a human are very much not the same thing. Autonomous killing is nothing new or novel - we've had sentry guns for many years now.
