Pentagon exploring robot killers that can fire on their own

WASHINGTON — The unmanned bombers that frequently cause unintended civilian casualties in Pakistan are a step toward an even more lethal generation of robotic hunters-killers that operate with limited, if any, human control.

The Defense Department is financing studies of autonomous, or self-governing, armed robots that could find and destroy targets on their own. On-board computer programs, not flesh-and-blood people, would decide whether to fire their weapons


?????????????????????????????


I suppose nobody at the pentagon has ever seen "Terminator" or "Battlestar Galactica"


reminds me of this:

Hulu - Saturday Night Live: Bad Idea Jeans

STFarmy

No kidding, my thoughts exactly. Or Blade Runner? It just always seems like a bad idea to me. There's not one scenario or story I can think of that shows humans and robots living together peacefully.

The Terminator show, by the way, is fantastic. I thought it would be terrible, but it's quite the opposite. I highly recommend it for any Terminator fan.

They should be making female & male robots for sex they should sell them in Wal Mart & JC Penny's, I would purchase two of each and have an orgy.

11 Left Handed People were killed in Maine this year using things made for Right Handed People

You shouldn't be so speciesist Holy. Not all autonomous robots are bad. The robot from Lost in Space was a good guy, when he wasn't falling for one of Dr Smith's evil schemes and Data saved the Enterprise more times than I can count.

Robots stay up all night.

"The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him."
Leo Tolstoy, 1897

Regal, thats the only word to describe your post.

Bravo...calling out partisanship in a thread about the military wanting to use robots to kill on their own. Maybe I should've posted that they were democratic robots.....
