AI Weekly: Elon Musk is worried about killer bots again. Or is he?
Killer robots might be coming for us, but not if Elon Musk has his way. In a letter to the United Nations, Musk championed the cause for 116 entrepreneurs and AI experts to set guidelines for future robots that can make decisions about killing humans.

The "killer robots" phrase somehow became the norm for many headlines, even though Musk was actually hoping to form a committee (called the Group of Governmental Experts on Lethal Autonomous Weapon Systems). Lethal autonomous weapons threaten to become the third revolution in warfare.
