 spirithiker says: My initial response was to laugh. Anything man builds is flawed in some way. Making such a grand prediction that scientist can even build a robot that won’t commit a crime is asking for too much faith from us. Noel Sharkey, a computer scientist at Sheffield University, best known for his involvement with the cult television show Robot Wars, is the leading critic of the US plans. He says: "It sends a cold shiver down my spine. I have worked in artificial intelligence for decades, and the idea of a robot making decisions about human termination is terrifying." Noel, that about sums it up. Well, we should ask our selves a very important question. Is it worth continuing to risk the lives of our men and women because we are scared of the mistakes that the machines might make? I am sure that without a doubt these machines will be built with remote overrides to shut them down when someone monitoring them notices a problem. I am also sure that at some point some of them will go haywire or that some of them will mistakenly kill innocent people (friend or foe) but that happens now with real people doing the job. My bet is that the total losses (especially on our side) will have a large net decrease. And i don't know if you have watched the current generation play war type video games... And then there was no one to return and remind the others how terrible war really is. |
