Once complete, these drones will represent the ultimate militarisation of AI and trigger vast legal and ethical implications for wider society.
The US Army recently announced that it is developing the first drones that can spot and target vehicles and people using artificial intelligence (AI). This is a big step forward.
Whereas current military drones are still controlled by people, this new technology will decide who to kill with almost no human involvement.
Once complete, these drones will represent the ultimate militarization of AI and trigger vast legal and ethical implications for wider society.
There is a chance that warfare will move from fighting to extermination, losing any semblance of humanity in the process.
At the same time, it could widen the sphere of warfare so that the companies, engineers and scientists building AI become valid military targets.
Existing lethal military drones like the MQ-9 Reaper are carefully controlled and piloted via satellite. If a pilot drops a bomb or fires a missile, a human sensor operator actively guides it onto the chosen target using a laser.
