Secular Café: Robot Wars

Secular Café For serious discussion of politics, political news, policy, political theory and economics and events happening round the world

Robot Wars Dec 4th 2012, 19:29 :wtf: First this: America's Mindless Killer Robots Must Be Stopped. Which is based on this: Robot Wars Are a Reality. I'm guessing this was discussed back in 2007, but it's the first time I've heard of this. Quote: [F]ully autonomous robots that make their own decisions about lethality are high on the US military agenda. The US National Research Council advises "aggressively exploiting the considerable warfighting benefits offered by autonomous vehicles". They are cheap to manufacture, require less personnel and, according to the navy, perform better in complex missions. One battlefield soldier could start a large-scale robot attack in the air and on the ground. :jawdrop:
