Hi Dan,

I suspect that there will be much debate when it finally comes down to robots fighting our wars. I suspect half of the people will support it because it means greater force protection. The other half will be against it because they’ll see it as being unfair — the rich Americans are taking advantage of technology to rule the world.

It will raise ethical issues. I always think of Terminator when I hear about military robots.

Very intriguing. We have a hard enough time distinguishing the civilians from the enemy as humans, and a robot will do it? I guess I come at this from a slightly different perspective (4.5 years served – US Army). Remember back when the Marine shot an unarmed individual while clearing a building? Everyone debated whether or not the guy made a threatening move, had a weapon or what looked like it, etc. It’s really easy for people sitting in comfortable chairs on American soil to argue about the ethics surrounding someone’s actions in war, but ultimately someone will be responsible if a robot kills innocent Iraqi civilians. Kinda crazy… .

Hi Buzz,

I was thinking of “The Sarah Connor Chronicles” when I was writing this post. There’s something about Summer Glau that is intriguing.
