Killer robots raise the prospect of a new kind of war; one in which it’s possible to selectively target and slaughter entire populations at little cost. Q When people picture “killer robots” they are often thinking of the Terminator. Q What kinds of killer robots are being used right now, and what will we see in the future? We will see widespread deployment of self-driving cars by 2025, and are likely to see many autonomous military weapons systems around that time as well. Q Couldn’t we just use a big electromagnetic pulse to disable killer robots like they did on the Matrix?
