The Keeping Skynet Peaceful Act

#artificialintelligence

Israel has deployed autonomous military vehicles to patrol the border of the Palestinian Authority. These vehicles are apparently unarmed, so far, and groups of them are controlled by a remotely placed soldier, so they are not quite up to the level of a Robocop, which I suppose is some kind of relief. There are no fully robotic warriors out there, yet. Something along the lines of, that which does not kill us now, might still kill us later if we aren't ready. The short version of all this is that as AI research engages more and more with the real world, things may take some dangerous turns.
