I really don’t get all the fretting about drones making kill-no-kill decisions. You’re telling me that you’d rather this was done by a stressed, emotional, tired front-line private? Reminds me of the debate about a self driving car that might need to mount the curb to avoid hitting a car - and therefore endangering a pedestrian. It’s not an easy decision but I’d rather a machine made it than a stressed person!
When a stressed person mistakenly does something they shouldn't have, they typically stop doing it after only a small handful of mistakes. We get tired, or bored, or we wise up to our mistake.
When a misconfigured computer does something wrong, it frequently does it over and over and over again until it is prevented from doing so by an external intervention.
No tired private is going to mistakenly rampage through a populated area mowing down civilians. But a confused drone swarm might.
