If we would consistency refer to Fully Autonomous Weapons as "Killer Robots", the debate on their use would wrap up fast.

Вот именно. По сравнению с Killer Humans они гарантированно не насилуют и не мародерствуют.

On the other hand, killer humans are unlikely to ever rise up, overthrow and exterminate their human overlords in an apocalyptic xenoside.

A long time ago, when amusing multi-line email signatures were in fashion, I one saw a signature saying something like "Since the appearance of MS-DOS, there is no new science fiction about robot or computer uprising".

Who and where is actually talking about *fully* autonomous weapons? Or perhaps we're using different values of "fully."

UN was, a few days ago

Yeah, I was behind the times it seems.

Coincidentally, I was going to come back and mention that the BBC did a thing on FAW. The podcast title was, in fact, "killer robots."

[akusasik]

That's my faworite way to refer to them.
