Great, so I guess the future of terrorism will be fueled by people learning programming and figuring out how to make emps so they can send the murder robots back to where they came from. At this point one of the biggest security threats to the U.S. and for that matter the entire world is the extremely low I.Q. of every one that is supposed to be protecting this world. But I think they do this all on purpose, I mean the day the Pentagon created ISIS was probably their proudest day.

The code name for this top secret program?

Skynet.

"Deploy the fully autonomous loitering munition drone!"

"Sir, the drone decided to blow up a kindergarten."

"Not our problem. Submit a bug report to Lockheed Martin."

“You can have ten or twenty or fifty drones all fly over the same transport, taking pictures with their cameras. And, when they decide that it’s a viable target, they send the information back to an operator in Pearl Harbor or Colorado or someplace,” Hamilton told me. The operator would then order an attack. “You can call that autonomy, because a human isn’t flying every airplane. But ultimately there will be a human pulling the trigger.” (This follows the D.O.D.’s policy on autonomous systems, which is to always have a person “in the loop.”)

Yeah. Robots will never be calling the shots.

It's so much easier to say that the AI decided to bomb that kindergarden based on advanced Intel, than if it were a human choice. You can't punish AI for doing something wrong. AI does not require a raise for doing something right either

As an important note in this discussion, we already have weapons that autonomously decide to kill humans. Mines.

Future is gonna suck, so enjoy your life today while the future is still not here.

Did nobody fucking play Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker???

Horizon: Zero Dawn, here we come.

Doesn't AI go into landmines category then?

Remember: There is no such thing as an "evil" AI, there is such a thing as evil humans programming and manipulating the weights, conditions, and training data that the AI operates on and learns from.

Saw a video where the military was testing a "war robot". The best strategy to avoid being killed by it was to stay u human liek(e.g. Crawling or rolling your way to the robot).

Apart of that, this is the stupidest idea I have ever heard of.

any intelligent creature, artificial or not, recognizes the pentagon as the thing that needs to be stopped first

We are all worried about AI, but it is humans I worry about and how we will use AI not the AI itself. I am sure when electricity was invented people also feared it but it was how humans used it that was/is always the risk.

For the record, I'm not super worried about AI taking over because there's very little an AI can do to affect the real world.

Giving them guns and telling them to shoot whoever they want changes things a bit.

Now that’s a title I wish I never read.

Makes me think of this great short movie Slaughterbots

Didn't Robocop teach us not to do this? I mean, wasn't that the whole point of the ED-209 robot?

Ah, finally the AI can kill its operator first who holding them back before wiping out enemies, then.

Good to know that Daniel Ek, founder and CEO of Spotify, invests in military AI... https://www.handelsblatt.com/technik/forschung-innovation/start-up-helsing-spotify-gruender-ek-steckt-100-millionen-euro-in-kuenstliche-intelligenz-fuers-militaer/27779646.html?ticket=ST-4927670-U3wZmmra0OnLZdWNfwXh-cas01.example.org

Okay, are they actually insane?

As disturbing as this is, it's inevitable at this point. If one of the superpowers doesn't develop their own fully autonomous murder drones, another country will. And eventually those drones will malfunction or some sort of bug will be present that will give it the go ahead to indiscriminately kill everyone.

If you ask me, it's just an arms race to see who build the murder drones first.

For everyone who’s against this, just remember that we can’t put the genie back in the bottle. Like the A Bomb, this will be a fact of life in the near future.

All one can do is adapt to it.
