Probably many noticed that the development of robotics in lately has been leaps and bounds, and many countries openly compete in the creation and use of artificial intelligence (AI). Arms developers are also keeping up with the general trend, trying using AI to create unique autonomous systems. Thanks this “symbiosis” of technology is likely to come into light killer robots. The same is confirmed by representatives the Dutch non-profit organization PAX, which calls for solve all problems peacefully.
What is the purpose of creating killer robots?
The very name of these robots already speaks of their true purpose, and to be technically accurate, their function is independent making decisions about saving or taking life. Alarmed PAX experts called this feature the “third revolution in the war,” following the creation of gunpowder and nuclear weapons.
Activists are calling for a special set of rules, regulating the production of such weapons, right up to prohibitions. Countries leading their development in this direction, including the USA, Russia, Israel, Turkey and China did not take there are no measures in this matter.
According to PAX representatives, there are about 30 manufacturers who do not have the relevant regulations (policy) governing the development of intelligent systems weapons.
Frank Slipper, the author of the report, believes that so far there are no states agree on the creation of a general regime for the regulation of production autonomous robotic systems then manufacturers and will continue to create and most likely use weapons that do not have human control.
Researchers believe that the use of artificial intelligence in weapons systems is not a problem. home the problem lies in the creation of non-human weapons systems.
Moreover, it’s not only the enemy of the military conflict who can suffer, but also the developer of smart weapons. It’s scary to imagine if a system beyond human control will unreasonably accept decision to start hostilities. Then the plot of the famous the movie “Terminator” will not be so fantastic.
Previously, over fifty leading world experts in the field artificial intelligence research announced a boycott South Korean Institute of Advanced Technology (KAIST) in Daejeon.
