“In our view, the best way to make progress … would be through the development of a non-binding code of conduct,” US official Josh Dorosin told the meeting.

What’s the problem with Killer Robots?

A fully developed killer robot will be better than any human. This means you need killer robots to fight back killer robots or you are hopelessly outgunned. This in the end means that the winner is the one who can deploy more killer robots.

This simple logic will then lead to an arms race between the superpowers and what the world really does not need is a new arms race.
