There was some discussion the other day about autonomous killer drones like these, doing the same stuff but with an AI in control.
I’m sure it makes no difference whatsoever to that soldier that there was a human hand on the controls operating that drone.
If the surrounding area was quiet, he heard it hunting, coming closer and finally into his hiding spot. He can’t run, all he can do is try to be invisible. Sometimes those analog video signals aren’t so good, maybe he gets lucky and the drone buzzes by in a moment of temporary video break down. But he doesn’t, and it has to happen.
Kill Decision by Daniel Suarez is a good book on the topic. Very good audio book too!
This one? It appears to be a sci-fi action thriller, so the scenario presented in it is likely tailored to maximize the sense of danger at the expense of realism in order to sell more copies.
Skimming through the plot synopsis it seems like people magically have a supply of laser-guided missiles whenever there’s an opportune moment to attempt to blow protagonists up, for example.
Yeah sorry, should have mentioned it’s a near future scifi book, definitely not a scientifically accurate novel 😂.
It does however explore a lot of the moral issues around drones acting on their own to target people.
It’s a bit if a personal hangup of mine how often debate about real-world actually-real matters get preempted with people objecting to certain courses of action because they saw a cheesy sci-fi movie about it (which of course has things “go wrong” because you don’t sell many tickets to a movie about everything working out fine). AI in particular has a very fertile range of scaremongering to select from so I’m perhaps a little hyper vigilant on that topic.
I haven’t read the book so I can’t speak to the philosophical aspects of it, just felt I should point out the cinematic biases of such works. In real life countermeasures to weapons are often developed in tandem with the weapons themselves. This war in Ukraine is probably going to be unique in not having them since the weapon is still so fresh.
