I actually have fears of another sort of killer robotics - nanotech. It’s an “emerging technology” still in the research stage, of course. But in 20 years, it may well be a reality.

The upside is tremendous - everything from self-repairing machinery to medical nanobots who can repair tissue or hunt down cancer cells.

The downside is, like any other tool, in the wrong hands it probably could be used to destroy instead of heal. Programmed to attack a vital organ, a thousand nanobots, each smaller than a grain of dust, could be an invisible weapon that could be used to kill well, anyone. And you wouldn’t even see or feel it coming.

So yeah, I’ve probably veered a bit into tinfoil hat territory here, but it’s still a scary proposition.

Lethal, AI Robots will proceed whether there is a ban or not.

The temptation is too strong.

I hope our guys are the best.

experts and high-profile figures like Musk have made repeated calls to limit the development of deadly AI

Unlike nuclear weapons, testing of lethal robots will be completely undetectable by outsiders. Treaties to limit lethal AI will thus only bind those nations which tend to keep treaties.

Signing a "no lethal robot" treaty would thus amount to unilateral disarmament in that area.
