As I see it, problem with any programmed behaviour is that it never knows the context. What do I mean? That for example a computer will never now when a game is a game, it just follows certains rules. If even humans have problems deciding what to do in certain events, go figure what a non thinking machine would do.
Computers and humans are not that different other than metal and flesh? Erm... not even dolphins (living creatures) are able to check out differences on games and a battle (water polo trainied dolphins got somewhat nuts while defending). Maybe in a couple of thousands of years, if humans are still alive.
As somebody posted previously, this seems to be a chance to kill some troops or whatever and justify as a technical mistake. For me technology isn't yet mature enough for this tasks, and never will be, because rules are so relative as well as language.
Maybe if someone ever can write all the possibilities in an event we (humans) would be able to build robots up to the task, but I doubt that would happen sometime soon.
We worry about some AI trying to kill us. We worry about HAL... But in 2010, they fixed HAL. It was a person that gave HAL conflicting orders. It was a HUMAN's fault. The AI worked exactly as expected. And later on, Saved everyone.
Yes right, that's my point. We as human are prone to failure, because of "unexpected bug" or whatever. If humans program robots, what would to expect then? I would say errors here and there. As far as I can rememeber HAL wasn't precisely programmed to kill, but oops... Go figure now that this is solely purpose of 2 cameras, a machine gun and some code.
By the way, why the heck people kill people?
