DEL.ICIO.USStudying ‘Terminator’ battlefield possibilities at Georgia Tech
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
This is a little offbeat, but Ronald Arkin of Georgia Tech is mentioned prominently in an AFP piece today on the battlefield use of killer robots — seriously, “gun-toting” robots — by the U.S. military:
“Robotics systems may have the potential to out-perform humans from a perspective of the laws of war and the rules of engagement,” he told a conference on technology in warfare at Stanford University last month.
The sensors of intelligent machines, he argued, may ultimately be better equipped to understand an environment and to process information. “And there are no emotions that can cloud judgment, such as anger,” he added.
We did a little Internet searching — and came up with this Arkin paper on “Governing Lethal Behavior: Embedding Ethics in a Hybrid Deliberative/Reactive Robot Architecture.”
Happy reading, science fiction buffs.
