#2I find it Strange that nobody generally comments on this including all the previous postings..
is it because people think it is inevitable and there is nothing they can do to stop it?
or is it because people think it is fantasy and could never happen?

#3Unfortunately I don't see a way this can be avoided.There has never been a weapon humanity imagined, designed, and built that it has not used. AI will be no different.
A ban would be impossible to implement. What exactly would you ban? AI? Drones? facial recognition? Once you have a certain level of capability in these technologies, weaponising these things is the easy part.

why stop it? even at this early stage it seems to work really well - in a hall full of people it correctly identified its target (until of course presenter cheated). Also compare to a rifle bullet, this thing is much easier to shoot down.
It also fits the progress we've been making - we removed civilians from the battlefield or at least we made it a war crime, and now we need to remove soldiers from it too (especially considering that they will become inferior - slower reaction, no 360 vision, slower speed, can't fly, can't really network and exchange full tactical info, etc. - to drones anyway). Let drones fight each other.
For non-military setting it was already addressed in South Park for example - autonomous police drones will control the airspace. I think in the future any UFO will be just taken down like a car without license plates.

#6Software eating society. Suddenly our entire criminal justice paradigm breaks down without corporeal law breakers. Makes the 'corporation as a person' question seem sophomoric

Another option is that some of us really look forward to real-life sentry gun turrets; we actually want this future.

What about the neutron bomb?
But overall, yes, I agree, a rifle hanging on the wall will eventually go off.

Matter of time.
