Announcing
the first annual IEEE symposium on Autonomous Weapons
Unmanned
Weapons Platforms; How Autonomous Should They Be?
As
technology begins to outpace Moore’s
law and Asimov’s Law’s of Robotics become obsolete, it may be time to begin to
define new rules for machine consciousness. In a world of evolving morality
where competing militaries strive to
shorten the Kill Chain on manned and unmanned weapons platforms we would like
to begin the discussion. Please join us
for a panel debate at the Hacienda
Hotel in El Segundo on
October 17th.
