I see A.I.’s as the more advanced solider, doctor, engineer, piolet,
and astronaut. But to be honest I think A.I’s could take over every job due to
how smart they will be. I would like hospitals to use A.I.’s as surgeons
because in my opinion a robot would have more steady hands then a human. But
once they replace human soldiers it would be good and bad at the same
time. It would be good because men would not have to die at an early age. Unfortunately,
A.Is replacing human soldiers would be violating Martens Clause which was added
in 1977 to “ban weapons that violate the principles of humanity and the
dictates of public conscience” (417, Berkeley Professor). Soldier robots would be
equipped with weapons of mass destruction which is what the Clause is supposed
to protect us from and would give the A.Is the possibility to overthrow humans.
Also a robot may not be able to differentiate between regular human activity
and hostile activity. The only way robots could be soldiers without violating
Martens Clause would be to equip them with normal weapons and have meaningful
human control. Meaningful human control is having a person watch the actions
of an A.I. behind a screen and by using command buttons the person watching can either stop or
give the A.I. authority to kill a human. An article on the guardian talks
about how the UN is debating about their autonomous weapons. They are deciding if they should
ban autonomous weapons or not because of how dangerous they can be. If the
world is not comfortable with just robots controlling weapons for example a
turret then how could we possibly be ready for A.Is replacing soldiers.
