This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Given that a Tesla has a hard time identifying children and dark skinned people I can't see how this could go wrong.

I think this would be an instance where you don’t want the murder-bot to be able to identify you
Eh as an unimportant rando, I’m more worried about incorrectly being identified as someone important rather than being singled out and targeted myself.
So basically it'll work exactly like the human-controlled drones, murdering children and brown people.
Mission accomplished.
It's just like the popular Sci-Fi classic, Do Not Under Any Circumstances Build Autonomous War Robots.
The real risk here isn't AI take over but total desensitization and alienation to horrors of war. US is already extremely warlike nation and yet already extremely desensitized. American and wider western sense of war is that it happens to other people in foreign countries and only real touch towards war is when somebody they knew went to do war in one of those places and maybe got injured and died. For the rest of the world and those horrors are very real and with higher automation fo war it become even easier to politicians to do when even less bodies are coming home and act of killing is pressing a button and modern shell shock is kinda feeling bad for those people who you killed on that screen.
Curiously, the high turnover rate of drone operators in the US armed forces is one of those demonstrations of how violent games don't desensitize us to violence, because drone warfare is just as good at giving our soldiers PTSD as front line infantry combat.
So it's going to be interesting when a pilot's loyal wingman starts taking out human targets without any confirmation by him or by a fellow human operator. I'm pretty sure if I were a pilot, and my autonomous drone buddies started firebombing villages on my own, it might fuck my head up a bit.
So, here we are. Metalhead. We had a good run, fellow humans.
What could go wrong?
Decoding this, "autonomous" means a robot that can carry out complex military missions without human intervention.
So, AI?
It begins.
Is this the right time to say It begins? This looks to me like an It begins moment.
Couples with AI this really is an it begins situation.
Straight up expect to see AI in law enforcement and observation. Drones everywhere? Sure, but have you considered insect sized drones? That's where the fun begins.
Thanks, I hate it. My wife is in the CAF and one of the biggest risks they face is already friendly fire from our American "allies". I hate to think how much worse that will get when killer robots are making their own decisions about who to shoot.
Can we just roll back to the time of sword&shield?
What's gonna happen when hackers take over skynet?
Can't be worse then the usa military controlling it
If there is any kind of weapon that is frowned upon in the whole world, then you can be sure that us military wants to have it and use it.
I feel safer already.
Skynet corp. has been working at an incredible pace these last two years. Which leads me to believe that the AI is already in control.
US military is the biggest threat to peace.
How convenient. Now we can blame the "accidental" killing on the bots.
china's growing what
They had better have the ability to eat people. Otherwise we won't have a reason to make robot animals to deal with it.
