Killer Robot Moratorium?

I just wanted to share this article because it's a common theme in SF. The second article even mentions Asimov- interesting and scary stuff.

Just a disclaimer: I'm not trying to encourage any political discussion of the matter. I'm just pointing out another example of SF becoming reality in modern times.

Nice post, I've been thinking about this a lot in connection with drone deployments/discussions by city police departments.

I've used it (the Great Drone disaster, which I haven't detailed yet) as an explanation for why there are piloted starfighters in my far-future campaign.

Imagine drones with facial recognition software patrolling cities or policing the boarders. I also thought it was eye opening that they were talking about trying to curtail a robotic arms race.
