The United States government is on the verge of deploying new artificial intelligence technology (AI) weapons that can make decisions on whether to kill human targets.
The frightening lethal autonomous weapons, which are being developed in the United States, China, and Israel, will automatically select humans deemed a “threat” to the system and eliminate them.
Some critics have voiced fears that the deployment of AI weapons would entrust machines to make decision whether to kill human targets, with no human oversight, The New York Times reported.
This is starting to sound like Skynet.
The Mirror reported that Numerous countries, including Austria, reportedly want the United Nations to pass a legally binding resolution that would restrict or outlaw the use of AI killer drones. However, a number of countries—including the US, Russia, Australia, and Israel—are opposed to them and would rather see a non-binding resolution.

another unilateral disarmament. Can't put AI in jail.
I guess we would have to equip our troops with something like an IFF beacon if these things were to be used on the battlefield.
I’ve seen that movie before...and it doesn’t end well for humanity. Also brings to mind that lyric from Jethro Tull’s “Locomotive Breath”...
“Runs the all-time loser
Headlong to his death”
Was the movie named “Skynet”?
This won't be used on a Battlefield where US Troops are.
Interesting interview especially in the last 2 minutes with name association 1 word answer
Why do I bring this up? Because after our approaching war with AI, I find it perfectly reasonable that whatever descendants of ours somehow survive might react by burying all traces of technology and go full Amish.
And this might not be our first near suicidal rodeo.

Skynet was the system in Terminator.
All those years of warning, “Do you want Skynet? This is how you get Skynet.” It’s here!
“Gort! Klaatu barada nikto!”
“Skynet was the system in Terminator.”
That’s kind of what I remember from the movie series. Thanks.
buckle up ping for later
“Captain America - The Winter Soldier” anyone?
As much as I’d miss the things I learn from the people smarter than I am, and there’s a lot of them, here on this platform. I think reverting to the pre digital age would actually help the human race.
The United States government is on the verge of deploying new artificial intelligence technology (AI) weapons that can make decisions on whether to silence human targets.
The frightening censorious autonomous weapons, which are being developed in the United States, China, and Russia, will automatically select humans deemed a “threat” to the official ideological system and silence them.
To even consider or entertain this concept at all is completely insane.
As somebody that has been in software and embedded systems for over 30 years, while now pushing AI technology into commercial applications, I’ve told my (Marine) son a few times..the Terminator is inevitable (imho).
Some aspects are still sci-fi...especially the supposed power source. But from a compute perspective, faking voices, navigating environments, face recognition, etc. - it really just needs to be put together into a single unit. What Boston Dynamics has accomplished is amazing too (almost a gymnast!). Plus, the first few movies only had to contend with a single Terminator, while the reality will be many wirelessly connected and orchestrated Terminators.
...if it can be done, if there’s the motivation, and the resources...it will be done. We could try to create international law to make them illegal - but does anyone think that will stop China? It’s almost a race to be first....like the atom bomb.
Now is the time to just say enough is enough. It is going well beyond any rational or practical uses.
