"We'd Better Consider Asimov's Three Robot Laws Fast"

 

Dear Doves,

         Any Sci-Fi reader will recall the work of pioneering Sci-Fi author Isaac Asimov. He wrote dozens of
fictional novels, which tackled the potential problems and benefits of artificial intelligence interacting with
it's human creator. I, Robot was recently made into a movie. Anyway, I'm certain some of you are familiar
with Asimov's Three Laws, which he created in his fiction to protect humans from potentially death dealing
robots and drones.
        Just ask any Afghani, or Pakistani about the need for international rules governing the use of remotely
piloted drones and the coming of totally autonomous killing machines. It's not a potential technological
advance, but has become a reality. Look at the pictures of the artificial 'beasts of burden' in the article posted below.
         Notice how these robots are only cast in a support role providing humanitarian assistance? Instead
of bringing up supplies to our troops and gathering up our wounded, they can just as easily mount a heavy
machine gun, or a semi-automatic grenade launcher. Don't worry about the need to resupply these platforms, because they already have the capability to carry thousands of rounds of machine gun ammo and, or many hundred grenades
         Today, we are in the midst of an artificial battlefield intelligence revolution. Either, we act to control this
new  technology now, or we enter another deadly arms race. This technology has the potential to greatly
improve our lives, or take warfare into an arena of unprecedented death dealing efficiency.
          Unfortunately, we currently have a Regime, so pre-occupied with creating American marxist state and
looting the treasury, we can expect no leadership from DC. However, if robotic abortion was the primary function
of these machines, I'm sure the Regime would quickly mount a Manhattan Project, or fund DARPA awards for the creation of an army of baby killing robots.

                                                                    Agape,

                                                                             Michael Curtiss
