killer robots fully autonomy as weapons tell us more about them for those who don't know what they are in simple words sure i think when we say killer robots most people think of drones but killer robots are weapons the would make drones look primitive at least with the drone there is a human being who looks at a computer screen sees the target and pushes the buttons to fire the missiles and kill various militaries are doing research on weapons that would have no human being involved in the targeting and killing of human beings and we found shocking and horrifying that people are really thinking it is ok to give the right to target and kill human beings to machines so this things haven't been used yet right tell me what tell me more correct. but there are many many precursors to kill what we call killer robots the u.s. for example is testing the x. forty seven b. which is a you know a subsonic super drone as it is called the u.k. is testing the to ram this european countries under france are testing the neuron china has just tested its own stealth drone we're not quite certain abou
