Why The UN Must Ban Killer Robots

[HardOCP News]

Anyone that has ever watched a Hollywood movie knows that remote control tanks are great...until they become self-aware and KILL US ALL!!! Thanks to GoodBoy for the heads up.

Russia's Uran-9 is an unmanned tank remotely controlled by human operators, who are "in the loop" to pull the trigger. Many observers fear that future AI-powered weapons will become fully autonomous, able to engage targets all on their own.

So..... I do have to ask...... I wonder if there is any lag between what the humans are seeing and what the robot is actually seeing.

Just saying it would be funny if they had a 2s lag and then shoot and miss. Lol

The UN is just paranoid of this...

No powerful country does. Why single out China and Russia?

Everyone has been in "We do what we must because we can" mode since the big bang, if not two weeks earlier

The unit just needs to go away. All they want to do is disarm free countries. If they really wanted to help they would go after Boko Haram and such. Instead they stay far away from danger and rape some of the people they are supposed to help.
