Killer robots — this is not a fantasy but a reality
Source:up To killer cyborgs we are still far, but the robots already can harm humans.
It Is recognized that robotics in recent years stepped far enough. created by defense companies getting smarter, it connects the artificial intelligence system, robots attain full autonomy, and so on. This means that the robotic killer can become a reality sooner than we think. At least so say the representatives of the ARTS, a nonprofit organization based in the Netherlands and advocating for peace in the world. They reported about it in his report .
Why build killer robots?
The killer Robots designed for decision-making on deprivation of life or the preservation of its own without human control. This alarming sign specialists RAH called «the third revolution in the war» after the invention of gunpowder and the atomic bomb. As activists and the government called for the establishment of international rules governing the creation of such weapons, or even an outright ban on its spasavanje. But some countries, including China and the Russian Federation still has not taken action on this issue.
Experts of ARTS have identified at least 30 of the world's arms manufacturers, who do not have policies against the development of the above types of weapons systems. These include the American defense firm Lockheed Martin, Boeing and Raytheon, the Chinese state conglomerate AVIC and CASC, the Israeli company IAI, Elbit and Rafael, Russian rostec and Turkish STM.
As long as States have agreed collectively to create a regulatory regime or, ideally, a preventive ban, it is likely that companies will develop and produce, and ultimately use a weapon that does not have sufficient human control. — said the report's author Frank sleeper.
The Activists do not feel that the military application of a system of artificial intelligence is a problem. The problem is that such systems can be beyond the control of man. And what opinion have you on this issue? Have your say in the comments and in our .
For example, the us military is already developing a gun with artificial intelligence that will , as well as tanks with artificial intelligence that can «to identify and hit targets three times faster than any man». And STM, the Turkish government defense company, already produces equipped with artificial intelligence robot called KARGU. Complete with features face detection, KARGU can autonomously select and engage targets using the coordinates of the pre-selected operator. It is reported that Turkey intends to use KARGU in Syria.
PAX is most concerned about the potential deployment of AI in offensive systems that will select and attack targets independently, without human supervision. The group wonders about how they will distinguish between military and civilians. Besides, the lawyers still don't know who would be responsible if an Autonomous weapon would violate international law.
Turkish drone KARGU hunts down the target and destroys it, falling from above, as «kamikaze»
However, unlike Google or Amazon, which has faced public and internal response to its work on military systems, companies like Raytheon, dealing exclusively with the military, so they are faced with minimal reaction from the partners, as well as by ordinary people, as most of the development up to a certain point remain classified.
While the development of Autonomous weapons continues, RAKH believe that it is possible to prevent a possible catastrophe. The group said that manufacturers can play a critical role in this, and should act against the production of fully Autonomous lethal weapons. As for weapons systems with the support of artificial intelligence, the RAH zayavlyut that defense firms must follow one set of rules that still need to be developed. But to completely abandon AI no calls.
