hello and welcome,
to a contribution for the discussion to limit AI's and ban autonomous weapon systems.
see the new feature in science, on how to restrict robot ai's from harming humans.
over the last year we have heard voices concerning autonomous intelligent systems, so called artificial intelligences and robots to be banned, if weaponized. this claim comes from a fear mankind would experience a complete threat and immanent danger and the hope humanity could somehow regulate this. mankind, humanity, whatsoever, no united nations and no ICC will stop this, there is nothing to regulate or ban anymore.
hawking had this formulated a couple of years ago, regarding ais' in general, might be a threat to mankind, not only as weapon, but by taking over the way mankind manages itself. with this point past long ago, we see a board of directors, which actually employs an artificial intelligence as a full member of the board and city services getting more and more autonomous all over the world. what we see soon is the humanoid everywhere.
