POPSBig Brother Expands, Introducing Police Headcams Surveillance insanity. The Security merchandisers (who prey on fear and technological enthusiasm) are extracting huge profits from government, at the expense of both citizens tax dollars and privacy. Ironic how the Land of Orwell tolerates this surveillance insanity to buy the latest technological devices as if they are "necessary". Robocop is surely coming in the future, where "remote policing" will probably be the new fad. Watch for headcams to come to American soon....it always follows the UK's lead. national roll-out of head cameras after regional trials proved they were successful in fighting crime, the Government has announced. Of course studies have proven that the UK's CCTV cams DID NOT prove successful in deterring or fighting crime , but that did not prevent their continued and expanded use either.

POPSRobocop will care about your normality With so much focus on outlier detection, so much information in the Web and the deeper analysis of this information that more powerful computers and algorithms enable, why not using it for spying citizens finding freaks criminals The more capabilities computers have the better, but ethics will be a task exclusively human for a while.

POPSPentagon wants to build ethical soldier bots 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.
