‘The tracks on their newest platform have sophisticated suspension, modelled on tanks, to allow accurate fire on the move. They use satellite internet rather than radio frequencies to reduce the chances of interference and can ­accommodate #AI that would allow them to continue fighting even if they were cut off from command.’ #KillerRobots

““You just have to spray it with Aqua Net hairspray in its ‘face’,” Cummings said. “And that would be enough to stop the cameras from working correctly.”

While the robotic dog seen at Mar-a-Lago is not armed, she says competitors appear to be experimenting with models that are.

“People are trying to weaponise these dogs,” Cummings adds, citing a Chinese model with an attached rifle which she learned about at a robotics meeting this week.”

Expanding Frontiers for the Stop Killer Robots Campaign

At TEDIC, we firmly believe that technology must serve people, always respecting our rights. That's why we are part of the international campaign "Stop Killer Robots." We need autonomous weapons and artificial intelligence to be properly regulated so they don’t make deci

#KillerRobots

"Autonomous weapons systems select and apply force to targets based on sensor processing rather than human input. Some autonomous weapons systems have existed for years, but the types, duration of operation, geographical scope, and environment in which such systems operate have been limited. Now technological advances are spurring the development of autonomous weapons systems or 'killer robots,' which would operate without meaningful human control, delegating life-and-death decisions to machines. Such weapons systems raise serious ethical, moral, legal, accountability, and security problems and concerns. #HumanRightsWatch is a founding member of #StopKillerRobots campaign, a civil society coalition that calls for a new international treaty to prohibit and restrict autonomous weapons systems."

#AI #Robots #KillerRobots #Military: "There's also concern that the systems will become more autonomous over time. As The War Zone's Howard Altman and Oliver Parken describe in their article, "While further details on MARSOC's use of the gun-armed robot dogs remain limited, the fielding of this type of capability is likely inevitable at this point. As AI-enabled drone autonomy becomes increasingly weaponized, just how long a human will stay in the loop, even for kinetic acts, is increasingly debatable, regardless of assurances from some in the military and industry."

While the technology is still in the early stages of testing and evaluation, Q-UGVs do have the potential to provide reconnaissance and security capabilities that reduce risks to human personnel in hazardous environments. But as armed robotic systems continue to evolve, it will be crucial to address ethical concerns and ensure that their use aligns with established policies and international law."

2018: A Global Arms Race for Killer Robots Is Transforming the Battlefield

"The meeting comes at a critical juncture. In July [2018], Kalashnikov, the main defense contractor of the Russian government, announced it was developing a weapon that uses neural networks to make 'shoot-no shoot' decisions. In January 2017, the U.S. Department of Defense released a video showing an autonomous drone swarm of 103 individual robots successfully flying over California. Nobody was in control of the drones; their flight paths were choreographed in real-time by an advanced algorithm. The drones “are a collective organism, sharing one distributed brain for decision-making and adapting to each other like swarms in nature,” a spokesman said. The drones in the video were not weaponized — but the technology to do so is rapidly evolving.

"[April 2018] also marks five years since the launch of the International Campaign to Stop Killer Robots, which called for 'urgent action to preemptively ban the lethal robot weapons that would be able to select and attack targets without any human intervention.' The 2013 launch letter — signed by a Nobel Peace Laureate and the directors of several NGOs — noted that they could be deployed within the next 20 years and would 'give machines the power to decide who lives or dies on the battlefield.'"
