Turkey has made “Killer Drones” which kill autonomously.
In theory, there are UN decisions that prohibit the creation of weapons capable of killing autonomously. The AI could not make this decision and there should always be a man to push the "Kill" button.
A recent report by the United Nations Security Council found that a Turkish-made autonomous drone may have "hunted down and remotely engaged" enemy soldiers loyal to Libyan general Khalifa Haftar. This bombshell report could be one of the first recorded cases where a Terminator-style AI drone has engaged and destroyed human targets of its own accord.
"Logistics convoys and Haftar affiliated forces in retreat after the latest attack on Tripoli were engaged remotely by unmanned aerial combat vehicles or deadly autonomous weapon systems such as the STM Kargu-2 and other stray ammunition" , reveals the UN report.
“The lethal autonomous weapon systems were programmed to attack targets without requiring data connectivity between the operator and the ammunition: in effect, a true 'shoot, forget and kill' capability, the report continues.
An image from the report provides a detailed infographic of the STM Kargu-2, calling it a stray ammunition (also known as a suicide drone or kamikaze drone). This drone is equipped with an explosive charge and uses artificial intelligence and sensors to hit enemy forces in a kamikaze attack.
It is unclear in the report whether any soldiers were killed in the attack, but stray ammunition is presumed to have completed its mission.
Zachary Kallenborn, a research affiliate with the Unconventional Weapons and Technology division of the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism, said, “Kargu-2 means something perhaps even more significant globally: a new chapter in weapons. autonomous, one in which they are used to fight and kill human beings based on artificial intelligence “.
Last year Kallenborn released a report for the US Air Force which argues that a large-scale antagonistic drone swarm attack could be classified as a "weapon of mass destruction" (WMD), a term commonly used to describe chemical weapons. , biological or radioactive capable of causing death and destruction on a large scale.
That's not the only caveat about killer AI robots. A group of the world's leading artificial intelligence researchers and humanitarian organizations are warning about the day when autonomous weapons systems lethal.
The Future of Life Institute published this video several years ago entitled: "Slaughterbots", "Massacre robots" There have been several studies on the subject and recently the AIDA Commission of the European Parliament has dealt with the subject in depth.
Futuristic robots that wage war without human intervention have already been deployed on modern battlefields. By now, the Terminator nightmare is becoming true, where robots hunt down men.
