An international entity like the United Nations should develop a testing range for unmanned autonomous systems where any nation including North Korea can bring their autonomous weapons systems for testing and qualification where their ability to terminate only what it should without any collateral damage will be thoroughly tested in simulated weather conditions, dust, smoke and this together with their ability to recognize simulated combatants within artificial crowds and dispose of them without causing harm to civilians.
So, in fact, autonomous weapons systems should be tested by an international body in the same manner as cars claiming to be full self-driving should be tested before being allowed to be promoted as having such feature.
While it's nice that people think they can stop the arrival of autonomous weapons systems to international targets by protests, the ugly truth is that these weapons systems will sooner or later be introduced because nations without them will be on short list to become the next Tibet. Thus, instead of wasting time on protesting that can't achieve much beyond more thorough testing standards, we should instead be proactive and create infrastructure to force progress through competition to make autonomous weapons at least similarly accurate in their judgment as human combatants currently operating vehicles, drones, and their able bodies on the battlefield.
This of course without using such international combat AI certification infrastructure to promote weapons of a certain nation at the expense of others, which would inevitably result in these tests not being taken seriously as are nowadays not being seriously taken international laws exactly due to preferential treatment for some friendly nations like US or Israel at the expense of others because such preferential treatment behavior will be used as an excuse for not trying to meet highest standards for combat AI which meeting would otherwise result in better chances on the international weapons market while making such qualifications useful to help internationally standardize the required level of sophistication in autonomous weapons systems in order to further reduce collateral damage beyond what is achievable by humans.
People from soldiers and commanders to leaders of nations often choose self-survival and self-interests over the greater good like sending drone strikes to deal with high-value enemy combatants even when this comes at the expense of some locals as a worthy trade-off that military leadership will happily hide from the public to suppress negative responses one way or another as whistleblowers of War on Terror clearly showed. Considering that not so long ago, the US military was recruiting drone operators from video gamers who then suffered trauma from what they did in their work (disposing of people with a push of a button purely because of some metadata and questionable local informants with self-interests that often proven incorrect, I have no doubt that one day machines will do a far better job of correct judgment than humans, especially compared to soldiers on battlefield exposed to unbelievable levels of stress that together with a survival instinct and various biases clouding their judgment at least at the beginning of their career a lot.

Eh, that's the problem. If we swear off autonomous lethal systems, there's nothing stopping our enemies from doing the same once they can replicate our current technologies.
Human-in-the-loop is ideal. Still, the cat's already out the bag. Our air defense systems are already automatic-capable. When we engage targets, we don't click fire. We flip the switch to automatic mode once we ensure all the tracks' tags are as we think they should be, then we let the machines do the rest.
AI killerbots aren't insurmountable, but overcoming them can be an exercise in cost-effectiveness futility. AI is pattern recognition, break the mold, break the killchain. But then, the enemy can adapt, add more to the data set, and there's only so many ways to break the mold. If there's the time to keep our enemies in the technological stone age, it's now. Otherwise, the only defense will be pre-emptive offense.
TLDR, it won't be enough for us to swear off killerbots. It's even more imperative to prevent our enemies from ever achieving the technological and manufacturing sophistication to make their own killerbots.

I met that man! My God Father, (not mob lol) was, retired now, a Physics Professor at Berkeley back then, I met a lot of his colleagues and I remember him, I also met the little Asian American gentleman I can not remember his name, but, BUT he was on a season of Survival! Met him too back in Berkeley. Thanks for reading and MY GOD THIS WAS 4 YEARS AGO! I think the window has probably closed.
Yeah we really do not need machines to do what if at all, should lay in the hands only of another human being, note I said if at all, meaning not an option I like but sometimes, unfortunately it will be done but it should only be done by another human.
Unless, we have, just one big guy, called the Knight, and it's part of the judicial execution system, then that's fine lol. imagine that thing going crazy, huh

This is a thoughtful video. The 1st ones that will have access to this type of technology is the government. However, there will always be counter measures developments. I can think of high powered lasers to begin with. They can sit in a room and blast devices with a directed high energy beam. I can think of people wearing helmets or shielding for vulnerable parts of the body. I don't think there is any technology that can't eventually be defended against. Still, , a great concept.

Spoiler Alert, we never had a choice in the matter. Militaries funding private tech companies with black budget taxpayer dollars in order to secure innovative, cheap, effective and efficient unmanned ordinances has been going on since the turn of the century and will continue unabated regardless of what citizens vote/think. Just think, this upload is 4 yrs old and by now those agencies who remain anonymous have tech which is almost indistinguishable from magic

An EMP grenade would be an effective defense against this sort of weapon. similar to a helmet being able to stop a sniper round to the head. but how many people wear helmets in anticipation of being assassinated It would be nice if humanity can evolve beyond the need for warfare and turn our attention towards real problems, like global warming, intersteller travel, or learning how to get along with other people rather than dominating them.

Imagine being isolated in a structure picketed by self-replenishing (to permit RTB and recharge) networked swarms of flying warheads. They could land and loiter indefinitely even if you're fully protected. They could interdict prospective rescuers and transmit targeting data to arty, rocket and aircraft systems the swarm itself cannot extinguish.

The FUNNY Here is the Framing of it. Whether Left or Right isn't the Issue here, bc it won't be. It will more than likely be from a Rogue Government or a Government who Wants to do as it Pleases. & by Forced Propaganda, Censorship, & Physical Force, make The People conform to it's Ideology. Despite the Atrocities you see from them.

Please people, stop being dumb fanboys. AI is just smart man-made coding and algos. No computer starts to write code for itself for no reason or goal. AI rearranges existing data and recodes it according to requirements of human origin. Ai doesn't create new base data.

The crowd clapping when he mentioned how ideologies can be stopped where they start (and he points to the brain) is the scariest. Yeah, this doesn't target ideologies. it targets people, and not any people. the people it's told to target. This is a hit list.

I would just want to be the guy investing or part of the manufacturing process. lol. but when this happens, I’m sure the Geneva convention will ban these in war because they’re inhumane. prob sitting in a lab somewhere in the US underground

Thanks Professor Russell but the technology is the future not some bald apes. Technology is never evil, merely anti-human. And who said that being anti-human is evil by default if humans are never anything good by the same token

Trust me, these were bad people is such a chilling line. There is no evidence of that beyond they looked dodgy, and yet give governments this power and they'd use it. But trust us, they were bad people.

Scary part is I can already outline the workflow of this tech and I only in first year of my college. So individuals with far more knowledge than me can actually make this in given time.

a reminder that hi-tech is best countered by low-tech, so no need to worry; one can just swing a club; i usually recommend halberds though.
. nets seem to work best for drones

Wear a mask, and the drone can't positively ID you.
If it is programmed to look for thermal signatures and target brain frequency well
