Some people look at that and see Skynet; a strong AI run amok and turned against its creators.

I look at it and see something far more terrifying: a simplistic, barely autonomous AI, functioning properly and completely under the control of its rightful owners, ala the Police Department (Chappie, 2015) and the Civil Cooperation Bureau (Elysium, 2013).

Evenm that thought doesn't scare me.




ED-209 (according to the story) was a science-fair project so badly designed that, after its malfunction at the private demo, would never have made it into production, and would likely have done such incalculable damage to OCP's reputation (and stock price) as to drive the company to liquidate its entire robotics division.

What's really scary is the prospect of semi-autonomous robots which act as a force-multiplier alongside (and obey the commands of) human police officers. They function perfectly, don't look like horrifying battle machines, and are gradually accepted by society.

We've already got the U.S. Customs and Border Protection operating a small fleet of MQ-9 Reapers in US airspace. A ground-based equivalent for police use will happen. At first, they'll be deployed only in SWAT units for building-entry, for riot-control, etc. A decade or two later, they'll be ride-along backup in every patrol car, and the human officer will never have to leave the safety of his or her cabin. And, eventually, they'll be doing their own foot patrols, controlled by a central dispatch center.

Which is precisely the stage we're in now with armed UAVs.

I love the arguments that "If you aren't doing anything wrong you have nothing to fear."

Well this is reletive to the previous robot conversation. Boston dynamics apparently have made a 2 wheeled robot.. and it seems to work great.
