Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Is 'killer robot' warfare closer than we think?
Machines have overwhelmed humans in battle the field since the end of the 19th century when 700 British troops swept away over 5,000 worriers in the Shangani River, Zimbabwe. Only four casualties were reported by the British side while 1,500 or more warriors were killed mainly by the Maxim Guns, the first powerful and practical machine gun in history.
Also, when the Persian Gulf War ended in 1991, thanks to the guided missiles and bombs, the number of both human casualties and destroyed tanks of the coalition forces was less than one-hundreds of Iraqis respectively.

Would ordinary human soldiers or human-operated tanks be any match to those autonomous killer machines? It sounds like ideal weaponry to fight against ruthless extremists but what if …
Enjoy reading and thinking if or when the world would see Ai-powered RoboSoldiers or RoboCops soon.
