Daniel Suarez: The kill decision shouldn't belong to a robot (2013x119)

: 12, 2013

As a novelist, Daniel Suarez spins dystopian tales of the future. But on the TEDGlobal stage, he talks us through a real-life scenario we all need to know more about: the rise of autonomous robotic weapons of war. Advanced drones, automated weapons and AI-powered intelligence-gathering tools, he suggests, could take the decision to make war out of the hands of humans. Daniel Suarez concocts thrilling reads from terrifying (and not-so-farfetched) near-future scenarios.
