So let me get this straight. We are in the throes of turning our whole transportation system on its head to let AI autonomous vehicles drive on our roads trusting the software will not run over our children other family members and pets, protecting us from distracted, drunk or otherwise reckless drivers. However when it comes to war and conflict we prefer a human operator to make the final call over when and what to fire on. With all to respect for our fighting men and women, the war environment is about the worst place to expect rational humane split second decisions to be made. Fatigue, noise, darkness, fear and the stress of combat frequently result in catastrophic mistakes resulting in friendly or non combatant casualties. Might it be better to have an AI weapon system using carefully developed rules of engagement and superior sensor abilities make those combat decisions.
