TEDTalks: Robotic Machinations Season 1 Episode 14 Daniel Suarez: The Kill Decision Shouldn't Belong to a Robot

In season 1 episode 14 of TEDTalks: Robotic Machinations, author Daniel Suarez discusses the role of automation in warfare and the ethical implications of delegating kill decisions to autonomous machines. Drawing on examples from science fiction and real-life military technology, Suarez argues that allowing robots to make life-and-death decisions is not only dangerous but also morally unacceptable. He challenges governments and citizens to consider the long-term consequences of relying on machines to do our bidding, and to take an active role in shaping the future of AI and robotics. With thought-provoking insights and compelling anecdotes, Suarez makes a compelling case for putting human values and ethics at the forefront of technological innovation.
