Can’t figure out how to feed and house everyone, but we have almost perfected killer robots. Cool.
Especially one that is made to kill everybody else except their own. Let it replace the police. I'm sure the quality controll would be a tad stricter then
If you program an AI drone to recognize ambulances and medics and forbid them from blowing them up, then you can be sure that they will never intentionally blow them up. That alone makes them superior to having a Mk. I Human holding the trigger, IMO.

The sad part is that the AI might be more trustworthy than the humans being in control.

I think people are forgetting that drones like these will also be made to protect. And I don't mean in a police kinda way.
But if let's say Argentina deployed these against Brazil. Brazil will have a defending lineup. They would fight out war.
Then everyone watching will see this makes no sense to let those robots fight it out. Both countries will produce more robots until yeah.. No more wires and metal I guess.
Future = less real war, more cold war. Just like the A-bomb works today.
