UN to debate ‘killer robots’

Killer robots will be debated during an informal meeting of experts at the United Nations in Geneva.

Two robotics experts, Prof Ronald Arkin and Prof Noel Sharkey, will debate the efficacy and necessity of killer robots.

The meeting will be held during the UN Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons (CCW).

And the award for the most pointless meeting and biggest waste of time ever goes to the UN for holding a meeting about killer robots.

I could just about understand the UN discussing the advancements in robot technology and its potential implications, but talking about the necessity, the necessity of killer robots. WTF!

Has anyone taking part in this meeting ever seen any Sci-Fi movie ever made? It never ends well for the humans when the killer robots show up and if that were to happen in the real world and not the fantasy of Hollywood, we wouldn't be able to have a one last stand battle and take back control of the planet again despite being slaughtered in massive numbers up to that point. We would all die.  

As I said earlier this is a ridiculous and pointless thing for the UN to be doing, which judging by their record is precisely why they’re doing it.

By having this meeting the norm of pointlessness in maintained.
