This is a post vs pre singularity problem. Post-singularity, the bots won't care about our rules of ethics, rules of engagement etc... Definitely something to worry about.
Before we get there though, we have the issue of the dumb bots giving exponential powers to the few humans in charge. Today military and police personnel can refuse to execute an order that is wrong. Dumb bots won't.
- joe_the_user 12y agoToday military and police personnel can refuse to execute an order that is wrong. Maybe, though we see more military and police adding in extra-behaviors that seem rather wrong. A dumb bot merely enforcing a given law might actually more desirable than present-day cops who apparently gratuitously murder civilians on a regular basis.
