The ultimate American robot is The Terminator, an indestructible killing machine that stops at nothing.

If only America had a mile-long assembly line to crank out millions of Schwarzeneggers, its army wouldn't be short of robotic soldiers. [...] Robotic soldiers are only a stopgap measure until real robots can be perfected. [...] Israel already employs bulldozer robots and, on the border with Gaza, a series of wall-mounted machine guns remote-controlled by female soldiers.
[...] Fully autonomous robots that make their own decisions about lethality are high on the US military agenda. [...] One battlefield soldier could start a large-scale robot attack in the air and on the ground. This is dangerous new territory for warfare, yet there are no new ethical codes or guidelines in place. I have worked in artificial intelligence for decades, and the idea of a robot making decisions about human termination is terrifying.
