Modern
warfare is changing as more and more complex weapons systems make their debut
in battle fields. The new trend involves greater use of AI in battle fields as
in many other spheres of life. Killer robots have to date been the stuff of science
fiction but are fast in danger of becoming a reality. At first glance, this
seems like natural progression; however, on closer inspection, certain
disadvantages may also become apparent. Do your research and decide weather you
fully support autonomous weapons, weather you have certain reservations or
weather you are completely against them. When you are ready defend your point
of view.
