This post’s title is making light of what I think is an important issue: As technology leaps forward, when will mankind retain the wisdom not to empower non-living things with sentient abilities, such as to discern what to kill?
Autonomous killer robots are real. More are coming every day. The technology to create these things isn’t the issue. As with all technology, the relevant question isn’t whether we can do a thing but do we need to do a thing?
I know I joke about the robot apocalypse. I hope you chuckle every time you read it, but it’s a very serious possibility.
