This is the article i used for my presentation:
A San Francisco Chronicle article offers insights into discussions among roboticists and computer experts at Stanford's Technology in Wartime conference. The researches have gathered to "consider the ethical implications of wartime technologies and how these technologies are likely to affect civilization in years to come". Among the topics discussed was whether scientists can create war robots that behave more ethically in battle than human soldiers. One scientist recommended that roboticists who are asked to work on a military project make sure they support the goals of the organization and that they will be able to publish their research. Ronald Arkin noted that the Pentagon is determined to create war-fighting robots, so it's up to socially responsible scientist to make sure the robots are given ethical self-control. Peter Asaro countered that "scientists should not dignify what he considers the naive notion that robots can be programmed to kill, but only in an ethical fashion." He believe robots should not be allowed to make autonomous "killing decisions".
