I just ran across this recently…what do you think of it?!

For me, this is extremely disturbing. And if I were a betting man, I’d wager that numerous nations/governments around the world — most certainly that includes the U.S. — have been developing new weapons of warfare for years that are based on artificial intelligence, robotics, automation, etc.
The question is, now what do we do?
Some very hard questions that numerous engineers and programmers need to be asking themselves these days…
By the way, the background audio on the clip above should either be non-existent or far more ominous — this stuff is NOT a joke.

- Death by algorithm: the age of killer robots is closer than you think — from vox.com by Kelsey Piper
We have the technology to make robots that kill without oversight. But should we?
Experts in machine learning and military technology say it would be technologically straightforward to build robots that make decisions about whom to target and kill without a “human in the loop” — that is, with no person involved at any point between identifying a target and killing them. And as facial recognition and decision-making algorithms become more powerful, it will only get easier.
