Killing Robots and Just War Theory
The actual trend toward robotization have nothing about moral, humanitarian or legal reasons but more about how to ensure obeisance: actual government derive all toward dictatorship and all dictatorship knows that a certain point in time people will revolt, robots will not.<p>In the past there were no means to minimize the needs of loyal humans, workers are humans, soldiers are humans etc, now automation reach a sufficient point to automate *some* aspects, on one side might be sold in moral, humanitarian, legal terms etc, in some aspects might also really be, but the real target is just the old classic race toward absolute power.
