Killer Robots Are Here: Why The Experts Are Trying to Ban Them Now | Graham Elwood

An investigative technological ethics and foreign policy breakdown hosted by Graham Elwood for The Political Vigilante. Graham reviews the Future of Life Institute’s global pledge signed by over 2,400 leading artificial intelligence researchers, engineers, and tech founders—including Demis Hassabis (Google DeepMind), Yoshua Bengio, and Elon Musk (SpaceX)—vowing to neither participate in nor support the development or deployment of lethal autonomous weapons systems (LAWS). Graham examines algorithmic bias, the dangers of delegating lethal military decisions to machines, historical anti-landmine treaty precedents, and the perils of the expanding military-industrial complex.
