WELL, GOOD: Pentagon is worrying about ‘Terminator’ coming true.

“We have to be very careful that we don’t design [autonomous] systems in a way that we can create a situation where those systems actually absolve humans of the decision” about whether or not to use force, General Selva said. “We could get dangerously close to that line, and we owe it to ourselves and to the people we serve to keep that a very bright line.”

At the same time, “The notion of a completely robotic system that can make a decision about whether or not to inflict harm on an adversary is here,” he added in remarks at the Center for Strategic and International Studies Monday. “It’s not terribly refined, not terribly good. But it’s here.”

This leaves top Pentagon officials to confront what they call the “Terminator conundrum,” and how to handle it.

Soon we’ll have robots building robots for destroying robots.
