Advanced killer robots are more likely to be blamed for civilian deaths than military machines, new research has revealed. The University of Essex study shows that high-tech bots will be held more responsible for fatalities in identical incidents.
As robots are becoming more sophisticated, they are performing a wider range of tasks with less human involvement. Some tasks, such as autonomous driving or military uses of robots, pose a risk to peoples' safety, which raises questions about how—and where—responsibility will be assigned when people are harmed by autonomous robots.
