When you read articles like these, it seems like the days of “The Terminator” are not TOO far away. For those amongst us who always hoped it would stay a science-fiction movie only might experience something different not too far in the future.
As one of the commentators on this article notes, if we as people can’t even get ethics right – how will robots. I think it will be quite a LOT of coding before they will be able to code robots to battle in war the way we want them to. For humans I know that only the grace of God will teach us to live life in an ethical way.
When it comes to robots one can think about a lot of possible problems. Just think about all the viruses we find on our computers. Imagine what could go wrong with the robots. Imagine if hackers get hold of them.
Well – the US military wants to have more and more unmanned combat vehicles in the not too distant future. I guess this made them look into the strict warrior codes which they want all robots to follow.
I guess we will only have to wait and see what happens.
