SlaughterBots [View all]

"Cheap, lightweight killer robots are just around the corner — and major military powers, including the US, are doing very little to stop them.

In an interview with TheNextWeb, MIT artificial intelligence and weapons researcher Max Tegmark warned that the kind of “slaughterbots” that militaries are already working hard on may soon be in the hands of civilians as well.

“They’ll be small, cheap and light like smartphones, and incredibly versatile and powerful,” he told the site. “It’s clearly not in the national security interest of these countries to legalize super-powerful weapons of mass destruction.”
