Future Tech reports debate beginning on autonomous weapons systems. Preparing for a future in which robots may be given a tad more independence, an international coalition of humans rights organizations including Human Rights Watch are banding together to propose a treaty ban on "killer robots."
The Campaign to Stop Killer Robots publicly launched April 23 with the goal of bringing the discussion about autonomous weapons systems to regular people, not just politicians and scientists.
In a world with when Google cars guiding themselves through the streets of San Francisco, algorithm powered stock trading accounts crash markets based on keywords and many weapons systems already semi-autonomous (e.g., Predator, Phalanx, Patriot), good luck putting that genie back in the bottle.
