Jaaa them and remotely operated weapons. Cough drones cough

We've seen what happens in terminator

Only if they can be proven efficient. Furthermore, the party in possession/control of the system should be held responsible for any unnecessary damage caused by such systems.
(also, please no terminators ;) haha)

"The right to bear arms shall not be infringed"

Two words, Electromagnetic pulse.

That seems creepy

Terrorists be on notice. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, acts like a duck..... Kaboom! Time to meet Alah in hell. Not to be used in the U.S. Though.

In what context? War no. American civilians yes.

War will use its inhumanity. We'll treat it as a video game, as if no one is actually dying.

This sounds pretty reasonable, truely.

We don't need another massive arms race.

PLEASE PUT DOWN YOUR WEAPON. YOU HAVE TWENTY SECONDS TO COMPLY.

If drones are banned, what would Obama use to kill civilians in the Middle East?

I'd hope they are defensive weapons. But what am I gonna do

Terminators 1-3 is why no one should say yes to this

I'd love to be able to shoot home invaders without getting out of bed!

41% of Republicans and Libertarians are not Republicans and Libertarians

Not forever. Maybe now but when it improves it should be deployed but not now.

Not cool

Yes, but that won't stop them from being developed and implemented. Just make sure you're on the right side of the robot.

Ships need to shoot down incoming missiles before people even know it's coming

US Navy torpedoes do this. We can't ban torpedoes.

No, but who really needs it unless there is a physical handicap, if you can't control your firearm then you need better training.

Automatic tracking is fine, but verification and firing should be human interfaced

No, for the same reason autonomous cars shouldn't be banned, and autonomous aircraft have been getting us where we need to go for decades. Properly programmed and deployed, they would be more efficient and less likely to make "mistakes" than humans.

I don't think other countries would follow that rule

Ok, so if used in NY, the can only have seven rounds, be semi-automatic and not look scary. (SAFE Act).

Not banned, but they should require human authorization before firing on targets. As in, they're in autonomous as far as locating a target, but ask permission from a human operator before engaging.

There is so much oversight on collateral damage involved in military strikes, it scares me to think what might happen if that is ever taken out of the picture (intentionally or otherwise)

S-K-Y-N-E-T

We should kill this in the cradle and prevent unnecessary tragedy down the line. Keep AI out of weaponry in all scenarios, both domestic and militarily.

MAD worked because it was mutual.

Well intention folks can make all the noise they want about banning what is essentially a software update, but they can't keep bad folks from updating software when the advantage assures them of victory & your death

If you make autonomous weapons illegal, then only criminals will have autonomous weapons.

The humanity should not be taken out of war.

If the weapon is offensive in nature and designed to be used on individual humans, then it should be illegal. However, autonomous defensive weapons that can only shoot down other weapons (like the US Navy's CIWS family) should remain legal.

For regular civilians, yes.

Uh, like, for your average-joe American citizen? Yeah I guess I think those should not be allowed.

I'm going to go ahead and agree with Musk, Wosniak, and Hawking on this one and ban this shit outright now before it's too late.

CIWS. No.
AEGIS. No.
LAWS. No.

A system designed to fire on humans... Yes.

Do NOT pave the way for SkyNet!!

If people can hack a Jeep to randomly turn on accessories while driving down the road, I'd hate have the Terminator giving me the evil eye for no reason.

Should X be banned? Does it violate life liberty or property? If yes ban the fuck out of it, if no let it be.

Imagine the cyberterrorist threat that could emerge, takes one really skilled hacker group to take over our bots and use them against civilians. Let's wait until we can keep information safe before we use robots to fight for us.

I dont see why they should
