UN report says robots should not have power to kill
http://www.actionnewsjax.com/news/political/story/UN-report-says-robots-should-not-have-power-to-kil/8Hsgj3rSfUSZKydLwzVZjA.cspx?rss=2795UNITED NATIONS (AP) — A draft United Nations report says that killer robots that can attack targets without any human input "should not have the power of life and death over human beings."
It deals with legal and philosophical issues of giving robots lethal powers over humans, echoing the "Terminator" movies and countless other science fiction novels and films.
The report for the U.N. Human Rights Commission calls for a worldwide moratorium on testing, production, assembly, transfer, acquisition, deployment and use of killer robots.
