Think drones. Like the ones used recently to attack Saudi Arabia. Or the ones that we use to surveil and target terrorists in remote locations around the world. Except programmed to be either fully or partially autonomous. The technology exists now, but it is still pretty rough.
The president of Microsoft believe that the rise of killer robots is "unstoppable" and that we need a "Geneva convention" to regulate these activities internationally. We do have a similar treaty that covers basic protections for prisoners of war and enemy combatants, etc. This would obviously be something with a wider scope and scale.
The rise of killer robots is now unstoppable and a brand new digital Geneva Conference is important to guard the world from the rising menace they pose, in line with the President of the world’s greatest expertise firm.
Brad Smith, president of Microsoft, stated the usage of ‘deadly autonomous weapon programs’ poses a bunch of recent moral questions which should be thought-about by governments as a matter of urgency. He stated the quickly advancing expertise, wherein flying, swimming or strolling drones could be outfitted with deadly weapons programs – missiles, bombs or weapons – which may very well be programmed to function fully or partially autonomously, “ultimately will spread… to many countries”.
The US, China, Israel, South Korea, Russia and the UK are all growing weapon programs with a major diploma of autonomy within the essential features of choosing and attacking targets. The expertise is a rising focus for a lot of militaries as a result of changing troops with machines could make the choice to go to battle simpler.
However it stays unclear who’s chargeable for deaths or accidents brought on by a machine – the developer, producer, commander or the gadget itself.
Some of you may roll your eyes or shake your heads. But human being are cruel and frequently aggressively evil beings, especially when in the pursuit of power and wealth.
Brad Smith is right that we need to start taking this issue seriously before it is too late. Hopefully, the US will help take the lead on this issue.

The only thing that will stop a bad guy with a killer drone is a good guy with a killer drone.

Who’d enter into a treaty with us? Not worth the paper it’s printed on.
Tell that to the American companies that are handing over their IP to China. They sign the deals giving China the rights. They can say no.
This is an example of one of unfair trade practices China engages in. Can we assume you support Trump in trying to address this along with other issues?
Who’d enter into a treaty with us? Not worth the paper it’s printed on.
If you were to make an agreement with the CEO of a company knowing it was not legally binding and you were even warned by the board of directors it was not legally binding, who's fault is it when the next CEO cancels it?
Legally binding treaties require a 2/3 vote in the Senate. The Paris agreement and Iran deal were not legally binding treaties and never could of passed the Senate. If you want to point fingers point them at Obama making promises he could not legally make and the other parties willfully ignoring this fact.
