California Lawmaker Introduces Resolution to Ban 'Killer Robots'
A California lawmaker introduced a resolution Tuesday to ban the use of autonomous weapons. According to KPIX 5, San Mateo County Supervisor David Canepa is looking to press Congress and the United Nations to restrict the development of "killer robots." On Tuesday, Canepa introduced a resolution to ban, in his own words, "autonomous weapons, AKA, killer robots." If the resolution is adopted, San Mateo County would be the first in the United States to urge Congress and the United Nations to restrict weaponized robotic technology. "As policy makers, for us to catch up with technology we ourselves have to be out in front of it," Canepa said.
