Under existing laws, computer programmers, manufacturers and military commanders would all escape liability for deaths caused by such machines, according to the study published on Thursday by Human Rights Watch and Harvard Law School.

Nor is there likely to be any clear legal framework in future that would establish the responsibility of those involved in producing or operating advanced weapons systems, say the authors of Mind the Gap: The Lack of Accountability for Killer Robots.

Sounds rather scary. If no one is responsible, imagine the mayhem that certain countries could reak on other countries

I think that is a scare tactic.

Somewhat off topic but I remember when ISIS was on a roll and they asked the U.S to not send drones and aircraft and instead send U.S Troops to fight. But in reality they would crawl back in the holes that they were driven into and set off IEDs like they did the first time around. All's fair.
