How a Human Rights Watch report is wrong
“This report, unfortunately, substitutes righteous outrage over straw robots for a serious contribution to that necessary dialog,” writes Brad Allenby, founding chairman of ASU's Center for Earth Systems Engineering and Management in a recent Future Tense article on Slate.
Allenby takes down a new report released by the Human Rights Watch entitled “Losing Humanity: A Case Against Killer Robots” arguing the human vs. technology myth presented in the report is simply that; a myth. Allenby also details how such an argument is “too flawed and oversimplistic a foundation on which to build policy formulation.”
