Future war will be the war of robots?

It is worrisome that international conventions have not really controlled the development and use of robots and self-propelled weapons.

Within the framework of the World Economic Forum event held in Davos, Switzerland, experts in artificial intelligence discussed the technology of automatic battle robots.

According to TheNextWeb, although many big names (including Tesla's billionaire Elon Musk) have called for a ban on the production of killer robots , said Roger Carr, president of British weapons manufacturing group BAE. There are currently 40 countries in the world developing this technology, including the United States.

The granting of a killing decision to robots will break war treaties.

According to Carr, the United States is also a leader in this field, although it is also the only country that has banned the use of weapons-equipped robots (within 10 years since 2012).

Angela Kane, United Nations representative on weapons disarmament, said while countries have negotiated to make international laws to control armed robots since 2014, so far. The parties have not yet reached any agreement.

Ms. Kane said lawmakers are currently unable to keep up with the advances in technology and even countries have yet to define what "killer robots" or "self-propelled weapons" are.

It is worrisome that international conventions have not really controlled the development and use of robots and self-propelled weapons.

Professor Stuart Rusell, the computer science department at UC Berkeley and also one of the signatories to the ban on the development of killer robots last year, said that within 18 months - two years, "If humans want to order robots to kill all men in a certain city, they can do this."

While there are no specific laws governing this issue, all participants expressed their agreement that the decision to kill people for robots would break the war treaties. Audiences in Davos have also been consulted on the issue of self-killing robotic robots. While ready for the robot to take on the battle position for the people in their country, these people are also hesitant to face the prospect of being attacked by robots.
