"UN Expert Calls For Moratorium On 'Killer Robots' "
"Stop producing "killer robots," UN expert warns"
"UN Expert Calls for Halt in Military Robot Development"
These are some of the headlines I found all over the web yesterday. They UN made an announcement saying that the world really needs to scale back it's use of robots that kill. Your job this weekend is to read about it, and write about if you agree or disagree.
So here is the article I would like you to read over, from Huffington Post. You will find three things on that page: the written article, a slideshow of current drones and robots used for lethal and military purposes, and a short video accompanying the article.
This weekend, I want you to write a 200 word response, telling me if you agree or disagree with the UN's statement.
REMEMBER: In our current state of the world, it would create a lot of problems if we 'stopped war' all together. We can talk about this in class, but for purposes of your response, assume that at some level, we still need military action. So you must consider this in your response.
About 150 words should be your opinion on this issue, then I would like you to also write 50 words highlighting one of the robots from the slideshow.
Good luck!
