Ethics report on autonomous military robots released:
http://ethics.calpoly.edu/pr_020209.html
"The public is generally surprised when they hear how great a role robots are playing in the military," explained Dr. Patrick Lin, director of the research group and co-author of the report. "But there hasn’t been much dialogue about the risks posed by these machines, especially as they are expected to be given more autonomy or a greater ability to make choices on their own, such as attack decisions."
Technology is advancing at an exponential rate often called the "Law of Accelerating Returns." If futurist predictions prove correct, we'll have advanced molecular manufacturing by around 2025, and possibly the replacement of humanity by vastly advanced machines a decade or two later.
This is a chronicle of our journey to that future, one advancing technology article at a time. I post the more significant and interesting articles as I come across them.
