“Smart” drones soon, Skynet later?
Wednesday, 29. July 2009
Last week I read that the US Military has over 7000 remote-controlled drones worldwide. It’s a slightly scary thought but at least at the moment they have humans in the (virtual) driving seat. Looks like that will change before too long, with the Air Force saying that intelligent drones are coming in the next 50 years.
At least by then I’ll be an old man and hopefully too old to fight in the ensuing man vs machine wars.
