> those issues will be overcome before deployment. Really? We'll invent a 100% secure computer system? With no way to be hijacked? How about we build that system first, and use it to protect our social security numbers, credit cards, email, voting, and patient health information! It's because there is no way to make a perfectly secure system. In a worse-case scenario, our enemy hijacks those 100,000 robots you wanted to send, all at once, and sends them against good guys. > Set some parameters and tell the robots where they can and can not operate and under which circumstances and be done with it. Some parameters... Like, holding a firearm? Mad at the United States' policies? Defending their home against invasion? Bowing to Mecca? Skin pigmentation? Remember, war isn't even fought between nations any more. Most of our recent interesting enemies have been merely citizens inside of third world countries. If your GOAL was "kill everyone inside of these borders," then maybe you could control that. That's never the goal, though. Not since Hiroshima and Nagasaki. > Let the AI figure out who the bad actors are Humans can't even do that. > are and then help rebuild the country That's a neat idea... How about we win hearts and minds with agriculture / health / construction / education robots FIRST, rather than sending an army of death robots to murder every human in a death zone?
