Artificial intelligence has already crept into cars, homes, and phones. It’s changed how nations communicate, and it can transform how they wage war. But do we want it to? Maybe not. Here’s the story of how autonomous weapons - those that can select and attack targets without human intervention - have been under development for decades.

when a bot kills youone day ....
Love this 😂
in 2050 this video will be considered robophobic LoL

Because robot weapons provide an additional layer of abstraction from home, it's not the threat that these weapons might accidentally commit war crimes that's the issue; it's that these things will be used to commit war crimes and crimes against humanity in a way that we see companies not being held accountable for their actions today, and with the abstraction layer and privatisation of arms it might be impossible to hold anyone to account.
I better not see anyone complaining about sponsored content that’s trying to save lives!!
too late
Nick C while I agree with the mission, I’m not sure about the journalistic delivery. We come to expect limited bias (ideally - in theory) in this format. Something that’s paid for isn’t unbiased. You know?
At least it’s in the title, it’s not their fault that people may not read it.
Good content. Great cause.
Killing people with rules, wow
Binayak Thakur we've had rules of war for decades
Centuries actually. One of the first treaties limiting the conduct of war was in the 1600s
Richard Selby this was mocking on human nature first we kill each other than we make rules how to to kill each other
Binayak Thakur, it's more accurately stated as rules of how _not_ to kill each other.
well without rules then we might as well just nuke the earth
"The wars of the future will not be fought on the battlefield or at sea. They will be fought in space, or possibly on top of a very tall mountain. In either case, most of the actual fighting will be done by small robots. And as you go forth today remember always your duty is clear: To build and maintain those robots."
Aidan Dots Where is that from?
Tempest and a Computer Simpson’s episode, I can’t remember the name but it’s the one where Lisa and Bart join a military college
Why would a war be fought somewhere so remote if the objective is to obtain a resource? Say you want to annex Ukraine. Why sent little micro drones to ram into each other in space in stead of sending autonomous tanks to occupy the capital. If you're fighting for an oil field then why fight under water instead of pushing to secure the location from enemy combatants.

I really like what you're doing with the ads. I wish more publishers were like you
The robot apocalypse is near
"How can wars be fought humanely and responsibly?"
How about "not at all"?
Great video! Really well produced.
A machine can follow the rule of war better than any human ever.
The Adeptus Mechanicus disapproves of such heresy.
Finally labeling as advertisement honestly well done proper journalism!
“SWAT turret!”
“AHHH I NEED A MADIC BAG”
I have a few video ideas:
- How does the internet work? (Who controls it, how do websites get paid and where does that money come from)
- the 2008 crisis explained
- What makes tv shows (or anything else) profitable for a tv network (where does the money from and how do they pay for new tv shows and movies etc.)
- The future of steaming (what will it do to the future of the small screen)
- The dangers of AI (like Sophia the robot, why did they create them and why do we 'need' them)
- How certain movies have influenced the way we live today
This editing is so good
When something like this comes up I always have to think about horizon zero dawn
Here is a question for the next video:
How do they make the borders of the map in the real world.
Are the map bordes of a country exactly the same as in real life ?
Thank you.
No. Just look at modern day Israel/Palestine. The West Bank, although known to be what remains of 'Palestine', is occupied by illegal Jewish settlers. So no, borders are not always accurate.
"It is well that war is so terrible, otherwise we should grow too fond of it." - Robert E. Lee
Too bad that looks to be changing
An ad, but a very well made and engaging ad. I like.
Maybe we ought to stop wars.
34th rule of Acquisition: War is good for business.
True for Ferengi, true for Russians and true for American military-industrial complex.
But as the 35th rule clearly states, Peace is good for business.
aah, those are easy to confuse. Just because there's peace in one place doesn't mean having war in other won't bring more income. And if all you do is sell guns...
666Tomato666 Not nuclear
Regulation is important. But not by the current stupid politicians. SCIENTIFICALLY EDUCATED ones. We can't have people just with a degree in commerce or law making scientific regulations. We need politicians who have both, legal AND scientific knowledge. Atleast to a certain extent. Or we will KEEP having privacy, security, militiary and other issues.
The governance model also needs to be reviewed
The FX effects make it seem like there are actual bombs outside holy
at 1:09 "Militaries are not turning to robotics or increasing autonomous robotics because they think they are cool."
*explains practical reasons for using robotics in the military*
Me: "So, they ARE turning to robotics because they are cool."
Harun Suaidi it's really disturbing how often it turns out to be that some overgrown manchild wanting a new toy was all the justification needed to dump more money into the war industrial complex.
Finally, a weapon to surpass metal gear.
The autonomy of the weapons they listed all have some sort of human intervention, be from pre categorizing targets or programming it to strike incoming targets/missiles.
I really feared the boy at the end would step on a mine.
Oh jeez! That would have been an horrific way to end the video!
Hudson: "What is it? What's goin' on?"
Hicks: "They're coming."
Hudson: "Where?"
Hicks: "In the tunnel. Here we go. A and B gun tracking and firing. Multiple targets."
Hudson: "Look at those ammo counters go."
Hicks: "B gun's down 50 per cent."
Hudson: "Man, it's a shooting gallery down there."
Hicks: "60 rounds left on B. 40. 20. 10. B gun's dry. 20 on A ... 10 ... 5 ... that's it."
Hudson: "Jesus. They're wall-to-wall in there."
You know your reading too much scp when you missread "autonomous" as "anomalous"
Maybe this is a good thing? Instead of wasting human lives, nations could hold a giant mecha-fighting contest to settle their disputes.
Funny how automated weapons could save lives compared with human controlled systems.
Your statement is missing a big ass COULD before "save"...........
Why do people always jump to genocide when we talked AI in weapons. There's no money in genocide and autonomous weapons cost a lot to make and operate. You didn't seem to think about the lives spared from PTSD either. AI can help reduce the number of military personal traumatized by what they had to do. (yes this also applies to drone pilots, not just foot soldiers).
Stefan Randa, but removing PTSD is likely to remove remorse from the ones using them, and thus making it easier to do indiscriminate slaughter of people. Which one is harder? Enlisting and training people who are willing to do indiscriminate murders and won't testify against you even if you clearly violate international laws, or producing and operating a bunch of killer drones that will do anything you say and have erasable memories.
"There's no money in genocide" /// "autonomous weapons cost a lot (of tax-dollars) to make"........Jesus, sorry but you definitly aren't qualified to argue this topic.
You realize that in fact the "US-military-industrial-complex" (Eisenhower's word-creation) is making TRILLIONS to devise and build technology that has ZERO use apart from murdering/terrorizing foreign populations to creating a more favorable geo-political situation for the US??
(So basically trillions to give the US-Government the possibility to commit genocides. I don't go that far, but a valid claim is that at this point the US doesn't sell and produce weapons to fight wars....but fights wars to justify selling and producing weapons.)
Did you know, that Israel is making billions testing state of the art bombs / riot gear / security measurements (fx. nude-scans for airports) on palestinian civilians?
This made "practice tested on soft targets" a label that sells like "made in Germany".
This definitly dwarfs the issue of veteran-PTSD.
Speaking about which: Have you ever considered VICTIM PTSD, not only CULPRIT PTSD?
Automated systems and drones take can spare the lives and psyches of troops, but at the same time it can make it easier to wage indiscriminate war and attacks.
If you have a weapon that won't put our own troops into harm's way, then we're more likely to use it, especially instead of trying other avenues, like negotiations or non-intervention. And the problem with nationalism and tribalism is that we tend to see targets and not people.
"When your only tool is a hammer, everything begins to look like a nail."
I think it'd be interesting if you guys did a video on WWI, just in time for the 100 years of the peace treaty. Explaining why it happened, the geopolitics and it's effects. There's a lot of misconceptions about it and so little on youtube about that war, in comparison to WW2.
"With these upgrades, you never stood a chance"
"How can your be fought humanly and responsible?" they never did!
"Hostile UAV above"
This was so well made!
We're getting closer to a point where war is just two opposing parties send robots to fight one another in a desert somewhere
Any info about the outro song? Love the violin
YOU MUST CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PYLONS
I hope humans keep fighting wars because I think a victim of war would rather see a human protecting them
Yay more videos
Autonomous weaponry doesn’t sound too bad, a robot system wouldn’t carry out anywhere near half the war crimes people would in a similar situation
Dan oz well if you watched the video they suggested that wasn’t really a possible outcome as it’s more sophisticated than that
Dan oz well it’s obviously more complex than an automated terminator type machine killing everything with a pulse...
Dan oz Humans can do that too. And they have. Robots wont rape, so thats better?
Dan oz you speak of machines as if a human is incapable of being programmed into doing the same, history has proven it to be true
nice information.
Are you still there? "There you are." "I don't hate you."
Thanks for awareness video
Someone watched Terminator, and thought; _"this seems like a good idea, let's do it!"_
there's already an organization against autonomous weapons called "Campaign to Stop Killer Robots". We live in a cyberpunk dystopia.
Construction complete.
Love the channel
Flight of the Conchords got it right when they said that if every soldier in this world, put down his weapon and picked up a woman - what a peaceful world this world would be. #brunettesnotfighterjets
I know it's a joke, but imagine if the whole world agreed to stop all aggressions and dismantled their arsenals. The trillions normally spent on war and weapons would instead make the world better and more comfortable for all. Resources could be preserved or spent on making lives better.
This is the dumbest comment I have ever seen.
Mage the moron
Too funny! :D
You mean rape
Might is always right
I highly suggest a book called turing evolved by David Kitson. Its all about this, how do you give a machine a weapon and how to decide id a human life is forfeit to protect other human lives.
Its really good.
short and sweet
Transformers > Autonomous weapons
The fact that we're even asking if _wars_ (wars. WARS) can be fought 'humanely and responsibly' shows we're living in some kind of dystopia right now.
Autonomous weapons are controlled by the human by rules of engagement (ROE's). These can limit what an autonomous system targets based on location and other factors and can require human consent. So the issue isn't so much as whether one has autonomous weapons but what ROE's oen employs to restrict their autonomy.
A simple fix for moral choices is human controlled individual robots. This keeps human morality in the conflict while keeping the soldier entirely out of risk.
Want a joke?
"Humane and responsible war"
You didn't specify that from the 130 autonomous military systems the US has the biggest percentage
I see a Vox video, I press like
"How can wars be fought humanely, and responsibly?"
Were they ever?
Yes. War Against Hitler is one example of it
War... War never changes.
I wrote my final paper in Advance Composition on this. It's honestly getting dangerous.
Hi there! Long time viewer third time commenter. Would you please start offering your content in 4K video resolution? It makes for a much better experience. 2018 is the year of 4K. Embrace the future yo! love your channel! The 4K resolution revolution is now! #4K4EVAR
"How can wars be fought humanely and responsibly?" They can't.
Everyone else over here being sponsored by squarespace. Way to take it up a level.
When did everyone follow the rules?
TheVikas no one followed ever
TheVikas technically they started following the rules when they signed the Geneva convention which tries to prohibit prolonged suffering ie: no gases flamethrowers etc. Imagine it as you don’t use this I won’t use that
Every time someone tried to end a war before it even starts, innocent people die.
"responsible war"... I´m dying haha
"How can wars be fought humanely?"
By avoiding wars.
Wars are necessary sometimes..
"How can wars be faught humanly and resposibly?" --> good joke!
The ironic part is computer can follow the laws of war to a far greater extent then a human can, a machine thinks objectively, it holds no understanding or need for cruelty
As one wise saying goes about their military tech "magnificent, aren't they?"
Well this is all very sad but if we’re all dead then we’re all dead
This is so sad can we get 4 likes and resurrect the Soviet union
METAL GEAR!
Good video nice one
no witnesses except the target
Vox, who edits your videos ?
It's *people* who give the instructions to the robots. The decision to kill or not is not the machines decision, but the people who developed the weapon to make it fire automatically upon anyone trespassing. Like perfectly obedient dogs they do exactly as we tell them. And this wouldn't be any different from human soldiers as they are also trained to do exactly what they're told.
Is this the sequel to the Robocop reboot
A totally autonomous weapon system led to the calamity war.
"How can wars be fought humanely and responsibly?"
"Balance military necessity with the interests of humanity"
Do you even hear what you're saying
It will be like how car manufacturing is now. A very significant portion of the force will be human for the next 100 years. But they are going to have a greater role i combat. The unarmed systems currently in use have affected almost no hostiles as of yet. Soooo.....
Landmines are great at that, over 100 years later people are still finding them, actively and accidentally.
Good luck turret!
i dont really know, please correct me if im wrong, and/or give me youre opinion to this thougt: Autonomus warfare can decrease human casulties if done right. A programm dont go in rage oder Kills out of fear for his own Life. so If you Programm them to follow the Geneva conventions a Robot is more humane, because it doesent feel negative emotions like Anger or hate? (please excuse the Bad grammar/spelling im from Germany and Not as fluent in the Englisch language as i Wish i would be)
I thought it meant battlefield as if the video game
Humans are pretty good at 'just carrying out functions' too though. The people who bombed Dresden weren't psychos. Robots could even be less flexible, as they might have idealistic coding and don't take revenge.
but pilots is irreplaceable while AI can be copied indefinitely so there might be more war (more bombing of innocent civilians) if AI is available.
P. W. Singer should have been identified in a way that he would not be confused with the famous philosopher Peter Singer.
Just wondering when Skynet comes online... I for one welcome our new mechanical overlords.
Considering how grave human atrocities have been in the past, I’m honestly not too scared about autonomous weapons. They’re not subject to the human emotions which can at times often cause accidents/atrocities; fear, confusion, rage etc. If autonomous weapons were given specific input not to kill unarmed people, then in all honestly they could potentially do more good than harm. This assertion that if it’s not a human which pulls the trigger it will immediately violate some form of ethics or instantly cause civilian deaths just remember - 800,000 people died through getting hacked to death by their fellow human beings in less than 100 days (Rwandan Genocide)
*BRING BACK VOX EARWORM*
What was Vox earworm?
Aspect Science a series where they did vids about music
Oh interesting! Will definitely have to check that series out! All of their videos related to sound are interesting as it is so if it was part of a series its got to be good! Any you'd recommend?
Aspect Science yeah the Kanye west one was good
Autonomous weapons + Google Duplex = Skynet
autonomous road racers to annoy enemy countries
poggers
Tachanka Buff Confirmed
Robot in wars? Wait till you see Colony Drop
