Terrorists are working to build armies of artificially intelligent killer robots capable of slaughtering vast numbers of innocent civilians. That’s the terrifying claim from a piece of authoritative research published by the United Nations, which recently held an urgent meeting to discuss the threat posed by murderous machines. Experts from dozens of countries convened in Geneva to consider the grim implications of “Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems” (LAWS) which are capable of killing without needing to have a human at the controls.
These sorts of machines are famous from films like The Terminator, but in reality killer robots could be anything from a smart landmine to a drone fitted with machine guns. The UN wants to set strict guidelines governing the use of killer robots to make sure they don’t end up being used as indiscriminate weapons of war, but it said terrorists would never abide by these guidelines.

I suppose if the terrorist can have killer robots access should be easily confirmed.
I am constantly amazed that American technology, nuclear design and information, weapon technology including drones to some degree, is taught to people from other countries that are often times hostile to the US. It’s like we are training our own future enemies. If we had kept nuclear bomb information more secret how many countries would have it today. The same goes for nuclear power plants, biological/tactical weaponry, computer technologies, robotic technology. We need to stop allowing people to get this information/training from our own colleges, companies, government. How can these people even have the resources, education, technology to even attempt this?
AWESOME!!
Those camel jockeys just need to stick with what they do best, feed the livestock.
