Killer Robot Soldiers

 Unless you have been completely out to lunch, you are aware that there is a global push towards artificial intelligence being incorporated into mechanical robots.  And, in some cases, businesses are already using robots to place and remove inventory from storage shelves, deliver food to customers in restaurants, and mix alcoholic drinks on cruise ships.

If you are like me, you are fascinated with this level of technology, and you cannot wait until autonomous vehicles have been perfected.  No longer will you have to sit behind the wheel of a car and play Russian Roulette with other drivers.  You will be able to sit back in your comfortable living room couch like seats, watching a movie on your tablet or taking a little nap on your way to work.

On the downside, robots with artificial intelligence are going to replace 80% of all jobs in less than 5 years or the expects say before 2030 arrives.  We have not yet thought through the repercussions of a such a transition, and I hope we do so before its too late.

From a military perspective and the general public who is of the age to join the military, having a robot with artificial intelligence army is simply a bold and brilliant idea.  Robots will fight our wars, not humans.  Humans will be able to do other things and there will be no need for them to join the military.  However, officers will still be necessary for a while.

NOW...  here's the POINT!!!

The first country to develop an robot with artificial intelligence soldier will have the advantage.  Bullets cannot stop a robot.  It may damage the circuitry so a bullet proof casing will need to be developed.

• A robot soldier does not get tired.  
• A robot soldier does not need food.
• A robot soldier does not need to think - just follow the installed program.
• A robot soldier will not get PTSD.
• A robot soldier will not need drugs to fight.
• A robot soldier will have no problems killing.
• A robot soldier will not be married.
• A robot soldier does not need rank promotions.
• A robot soldier does not need a clothing allowance.

Whether the NEWS talks about it or not, I would suspect that the USA and CHINA are in a race to see who will develop this technology first and quick it can be manufactured and deployed for use AGAINST THE OTHER COUNTRY.

THINK ABOUT THIS FOR A MINUTE OR TWO...  if you've got nothing else to do...
