Killing machines

Futurist Jamais Cascio on the advent of robotic soldiers: "At what point do we give the ability to make a killing decision to a machine? The first organization to use robotic soldiers may well be the last."

And the saddest thing about it? Is that killing robots are following the fate of nuclear bombs: Governments are spending money in developing them, because everybody else is doing it. Nobody wants to stop and think about what we're trying to do by creating AI, for fear of staying behind.
