Re: Autonomous weapons
Not only have autonomous weapons been around for decades I would also be much happier to trust an autonomous system properly programmed to decide on an appropriate response rather than some poor grunt who thinks he may die in about 5 seconds if he doesn't press that fire button when it needs pressing. Such humans have something of a reputation for shooting first and reviewing the decision later Unfortunately most arguments against any sort of autonomous weapon are equally applicable to human controlled weapons and whilst I'm sure that most campaigners against autonomous weapons would like to ban human controlled ones as well they aren't so foolish as to imagine they would get wide public support.
