In a test of autonomous weapon systems the system recently turned on its controller to fulfill its mission. This and other incidents call for action on new rules of these systems, as well as further development of defence against them.

Two objections to autonomous weapons systems:
1. Anti-codifiability argument (that robots can't make moral decisions)
2. Lacking the right-kind-of reasons argument (even if robots could make moral decisions, they could not do so for the "right reasons")

See why Erich Riesen rejects both of those arguments in this 10-minute video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XGmRtYv8Cc

Last month, the Pentagon updated its decade-old guidance on “Autonomy in Weapon Systems.” What does the revised policy mean for how the Department of Defense thinks about its remote planes, guns, and bombs, and how is DoD grappling with technological advances from Silicon Valley and around the world?

On February 22 at 11 am PT / 2 pm ET, Dr. Mike Horowitz, Director of the Emerging Capabilities Policy Office at the Department of Defense, will join IST’s Dr. Alice Hunt Friend for a conversation. The event will offer insights into DoD’s thinking about autonomy, AI, and other military applications for advanced technologies—and how DoD is creating the policy foundation now to encourage, apply, and steward future innovations.

4/5 Lack of coherency: a) US protects its residents from remote controlled weapons and "robot police dogs" b) EU plans to ban #AI uses that threaten safety, livelihoods. They should lead the call for negotiations on #AutonomousWeapons ... or are there different standards for those of us outside their borders?😡

1/5 Each time the #CCWUN addresses #autonomousweapons it demonstrates it's not fit for purpose. What steps has it taken towards a legally binding instrument? Is the situation on other topics in #CCW inspiring?🤣 Can the #CCWUN spoken and unspoken rules➕toxic environment we witness there makes us expect progress? Do decisions reflect the majority's will?

🤔Will 2023 finally see the start of negotiations of a legally binding instrument on #AutonomousWeapons #KillerRobots?🤞We'll see -but discussions are already OUT of the ineffective #CCWUN✅ and this trend will only increase in the coming months😉Why?

1/8 A few days ago it became public that the San Francisco police had robots that could use lethal force. After public outcry, lawmakers reversed their vote and BANNED them. In the next days I will be posting som🗝️🗝️to understand what happened and its relevance at international level #KillerRobots #AutonomousWeapons

So apparently people are doing #introductions here and don’t just lazily copy from the bird site as I’ve done… So here you go: I’m a Senior Fellow at ECFR in London, co-host of the Sicherheitshalber podcast. I work on all things European and German defence, #drones, new military tech (#AI, #autonomousweapons). I’m German (with a bit of French sprinkled in). Good to (re)meet you.

Immer wenn ich wieder von neuen Massenüberwachungsmöglichkeiten, KI etc. höre denk ich wieder an dieses Video:

"How about we all just join the great #singularity into a #blackHole?"

Suggested the self-driving cars.
