"AI-Drones: The Ethical Dilemma of Autonomous Killing in the US"
The deployment of AI-controlled drones that can autonomously decide to kill humans is becoming closer to reality, with countries like the US, China, and Israel developing lethal autonomous weapons. Critics argue that this development raises ethical concerns and removes human input from life and death battlefield decisions. Several governments are pushing for a binding UN resolution to restrict the use of AI killer drones, but the US, along with Russia, Australia, and Israel, is resisting and prefers a non-binding resolution. The Pentagon is actively working on deploying swarms of AI-enabled drones, aiming to offset China's military advantage. The capability for AI drones to make lethal decisions while under human supervision is seen as crucial by military officials.
