Apparently someone has written a book about ethical behavior of killer robots. Well a fat lot of good this book is going to do when you’re getting your ass handed to you by a mechanized killing machine. Smart people drive me insane sometimes.

Researches at MIT’s Media Lab are building a game that develops its own AI by watching human behavior. I swear I feel like I’m watching an episode of “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles”.

According this post on Engadget, the US Air Force says robots that decide whether to kill people or not will be here by 2047. I guess I should start making a list of things to do before 2047…

Training robots to anticipate our needs.
Training robots to anticipate our actions.
Training robots to figure out where we’re hiding and exterminate us, says I.
The multidisciplinary team of the EU-funded Joint Action Science and Technology (JAST) project first analyzed human-human collaborations, seeing what kind of behavior and brain function are at play when we work (or don’t work) well together, and then applied the research into building proactive robots.
The eventual aim is to build robots that can ask questions, discuss and explore possibilities, assess their companion’s ideas, and anticipate what their partners might do next.

Time to buy more guns.
