they will have robots destroying both humans and other killer robots or automated systems.

If artificial intelligence were ever to reach the stage of "self-awareness," and killer robots did dominate the world's armed forces then we could be having a glimpse of the next evolutionary sweepstakes winner.

Right, I wonder what our AI overlords would do to humans.

the" U.S." opposes a Ban on them, is because our Military Industrial Complex has already developed and is testing them..
