10 things to know about killing robots

Killer robots are likely to know a major problem in machines that can kill in battle.

These robots, supposedly called Autonomous Weapons System (Autonomus Weapon System), have the ability to self-determine who and how to attack. That is why the bargaining of the world's largest military forces is being discussed. Is it all that you know? Do you have unknown facts?



01. What is the name?

The official name of these robots is 'Legend Autumn Systems' or Law (LAW). These are often referred to as 'war robots'. But they are flying drones, unmanned boats or vehicles.



02. What is the correct explanation for this?

There is no general definition of such weapon systems. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), which automatically selects the targets, describes the main functions of the attack, which means that they work without human intervention



03. Are these weapons already in use?

There is still no more autonomous weapon systems that carry out the brutal violence against humans. However, rapid progress in artificial intelligence and robotics fields is expected to be possible as soon as possible.



04. What is the forerunner of this technology?

There are already many weapons with automatic operations. Specifically, their targets are identified, selected, and attacked by rockets. U-boats that do not disturb weapons. The technique of networking is capable of carrying out and automating most of the tasks in the work.



05. If it runs automatically, how?

Automatic killer robots that are battered with the biometric data of the person who are attacked or killed are currently detecting the target, and determining the target (especially through drone drones), without any remote control available on radar or satellite. In fact, there is no need for anyone to control these or to give orders to start offensive. No one knows when they will attack



06. Why do experts believe that they are a precedent in the war?

Because man can not make a decision, whether in war, life or death. But it will make a machine without any hesitation. It is also noteworthy that this will not make any difference in decisions taken because it is man-made weapon and planned.



07. Why are autonomous weapons conflicting with international humanitarian law?

One of the most important elements of this law is that there should be clear differences between soldiers and civilians in any attack. Citizens and public buildings should not be attacked under the best practices. But this can not be done by an automatic missile system. That is why the experts under international law are demanding that the final end of the attack be a man.



08. Do you want to Do not have international bargain?

Of course. The bargain for some regular weapons (CCW) has been taking place since 2014 (in the United Nations in Geneva). Early informal discussions became official negotiations in 2017, with over 70 scientists and non-governmental organizations participating in it.



09. How is negotiations going?

Very slow going on. The positions of various countries are far away. Even the largest military forces in the world are against these weapons bans, because they want to use these to defend their hegemony.



10. What is Germany's position?

"We reject the independent armed robots beyond human control, and we want them to be banned worldwide." - says Germany. Nevertheless, it is noteworthy that Germany is yet to join the group of countries that are seeking to ban independent armed systems, but argues for a free settlement that seeks to ban them
